A corporate matchmaker and business concierge for ARM.
SAM connects sellers who hold distressed assets with the buyers best suited to recover them, matches clients with the right vendors across all industries and outsourcing needs, and provides end-to-end solutions for both sides. One platform. Two sides. Zero friction between them.
Not a broker who exits at closing — a partner embedded across the full lifecycle.
Not just a vendor relationship — strategic infrastructure.

The Evolution of SAM
From ‘Corporate Matchmaker’ to “Debt Sales Management” Platform Company
-
Founded
Brenda Meli founded SAM to solve a persistent problem: navigating a fragmented ARM and receivables ecosystem required trust, intelligence, and relationships that most organizations lacked.
2004 -
Expansion
Lauren McIlroy’s deep background in asset sales and operational strategy drove SAM’s expansion into structured debt sale brokerage adding compliance frameworks, buyer vetting, and portfolio analytics.
2015 -
The Platform
SAM’s custom-built, proprietary debt sale platform, DebtSales360 — from idea to reality
SAM decided in early 2020 that a platform was necessary due to market demand and the need for operational experience.
SAM built a proprietary platform from the ground up to reflect our processes and provide the functionality sellers and buyers need from pre-sale through post-sale.
