SME Capital completes backing for compact equipment supplier’s seven figure MBO

SME Capital is pleased to have funded a specialist machinery supplier based in the South East of England with their recent multi-million pound MBO.

Reporting on a confidential basis, over the course of two decades, the business has developed one of the largest Skid Steer, Tracked Loader and Avant Loader rental fleets in the UK, alongside a range of attachments. 

Servicing several industries, including agriculture, construction and renewables, the firm has significant experience and expertise in the compact equipment market. 

The vendors saw the MBO – led by the experienced management team - as an effective vehicle for succession, with SME Capital providing term loan funding in support.

Commenting on the deal, SME Capital Regional Director, Chris Collings said:

“Over a period of 20yrs the founders have built an enviable position in the compact plant and machinery sector, serving a multitude of customers across the South East. 
They have been supported throughout this time by key members of the management team who will now take the business forward. 

What really stood out about this deal was therefore the crystallisation of a succession plan which has been some years in the making, to an experienced and hungry management team who will continue to drive the business forward“.
