The faster, easier, more cost-efficient and discreet way to buy or sell a tool or equipment hire business.

Buying or selling a hire business can be time consuming, frustrating, emotionally draining and expensive. There are many generalist sales brokers, but few that really understand the hire industry and fewer still that are focussed exclusively in this sector.

As specialists in the hire market, with a combined 100 years of industry experience, we truly understand the business and the problems faced by sellers, who are keen to optimise value and by buyers who are looking for the right acquisitions.

What we offer

No excessive up-front engagement fees.

A discreet and highly confidential process.

Specialist hire sector knowledge and understanding.

Proven track record of optimising value and strategic fit

An easy, low-cost, low-risk way to showcase sellers to an extensive audience of interested buyers.

Powerful personal contacts and market insights.
