Client Testimonial

“I had the opportunity to evaluate several experienced advisors interested to help me, and ultimately TM Capital distinguished themselves. While they have strong rental industry transaction experience, they have done multiple aerial equipment rental-focused deals and their ability to tell our story in a more compelling fashion was clear. I appreciated that they rolled up their sleeves and helped us create strong materials to tell a strong story; and they clearly knew the buyers – allowing us to take a more targeted approach. My team and I spent 19 years building this company, and I believe Lift Works’ market position, financial profile, customer base, people and culture deserved a premium valuation in the market. I was very happy with the outcome.”
