ForceCorp is one of Australia’s largest specialist access and general equipment hire businesses, offering a wide range of rental equipment to the construction, industrial, mining and infrastructure markets.

Making five acquisitions in two years, ForceCorp’s national geographic footprint and considerable investment in hire fleet equipment permitted the company to achieve aggressive growth targets in a competitive industry.

ForceCorp wished to raise additional capital to support its strategic growth and ongoing working capital requirements.

The shares and convertible notes were placed with Helmsman Capital, an Australian private equity house.
