Leadership in the Equipment-as-a-Service Sector

Houlihan Lokey continues to lead the sector in advising Equipment-as-a-Service (EaaS) businesses, completing five more market-leading transactions in the past 12 months.

EaaS companies are benefitting from a significant market shift in investor understanding as well as recognition of their significant value and growth opportunities. Such businesses are characterised by their embedded relationship with customers, delivering critical, technology-led processes, ongoing service, and technical expertise, in addition to a high level of regulatory compliance. These factors have led many businesses in the space to deliver steady, recurring revenues with market-leading margins, demonstrating the clear benefits of the EaaS model.

We believe the broader market is shifting away from asset ownership and more towards service-led propositions, in turn allowing market participants to deliver an EaaS offering to ever-increasing markets.

Houlihan Lokey's activity in the sector has provided the team with real-time insights, unparalleled industry perspectives, and unique viewpoints on relevant investors. Should you be exploring opportunities in the market or considering alternatives, please feel free to reach out to our team.
