HS&A Transactions

"I have worked with other investment bankers and brokers in the rental industry, but none have your source of contacts, your knowledge, ability or success rate."

--Les Chayo, Attorney and General Counsel of the California Rental Association

“Our company made a decision to divest its North American operations, which consisted of numerous operations across the U.S. The company had many internal obstacles, making the regional divestitures difficult and challenging. These challenges were addressed and resolved expeditiously, thoroughly and professionally by Hageman, Stansberry & Associates. The results and total success generated by the efforts of Fred and Gary were much appreciated and notably rewarding to all involved in the process. They got the job done and satisfied the financial expectations of the parent company.”

--Tim Campbell, former Executive of a National Rental Company whose divestiture was handled by HS&A
