HS&A is the leading M&A firm in the industry because of our combined strengths, unmatched experience and success rate.

Pricing for rental industry acquisitions has changed dramatically over the past few years, and can change in the period of just a few months.  No longer is EBITDA the primary measure for valuing a rental business. There are many other factors unique to individual companies and situations. Factors such as product mix, asset value, competitive intensity of a particular market, market demographics, fleet age and revenue trends, are combined with many other tangible and intangible factors to place a true value on a rental company.  We’ve developed multiple proprietary valuation models over the years that we use to determine the value of a company and we structure deals so it makes sense for our clients.   At the end of the day, it is what you put in the bank that matters!   In today’s business climate, we can assure you that your business will be scrutinized harder than ever and we’ll be there to spearhead the negotiations and maximize the deal for you.

You need professional representation from someone who knows the Rental Industry.  Gary Stansberry and Fred Hageman formed Hageman, Stansberry & Associates (HS&A), a Mergers and Acquisitions consulting group specializing in representing sellers of rental businesses.  The credentials that Gary and Fred bring to the table are unique.  Very few consultants, intermediaries or brokers have actual experience from all perspectives; hands-on operational and ownership experience, dealing from the acquirer’s side representing sophisticated national companies, along with extensive representation of individual owners and large corporations from the seller’s side.  Our team is the best in the business and with experience in over 100 deals, along with other HS&A credentials including a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) as a partner, we are the clear cut choice for you when it comes time to sell your company for maximum proceeds.

"An acquisition must make business sense for an acquirer.  For the sellers to maximize their proceeds, the Company must be presented to the acquirer properly with all opportunities highlighted and any challenges fully explained.  With our experience and reputation in the rental industry, this is where we excel."

--Fred Hageman
