Client Testimonial
TM Capital distinguished themselves from day one with their knowledge of the equipment dealer space. They developed excellent materials to highlight Grand Equipment and its organic and M&A growth opportunities - attracting interest from a solid group of long-term, patient capital investors. This is apparently a newer sector for financial investors; and I was impressed in how they guided these investors to appropriately assess and value an equipment dealer. Ultimately, they helped me find the perfect partner in Cognitive Capital, and I appreciate their experience and effort to facilitate a great outcome for me and my team.”-Jeff Grasman, President & CEO of Grand Equipment
