This company is a highly profitable and well-established event and party equipment rental business located in Northern California.

Business Overview
The company specializes in providing high-quality event and party equipment rentals, catering primarily to the B2B sector. Its customer base includes large tech firms, schools, universities, high-end non-profit gala events, caterers, and event planners. The business prides itself on delivering premium equipment and highly personalized service, enabling it to maintain a strong pricing structure and a relationship-based approach rather than competing on price.

Business History & Growth Potential
Founded at the end of the last millennium by the principal, who brought prior industry experience, the company has grown from a small operation into a solid, well-run organization with a demonstrated track record of continuous growth, excluding the 2020 pandemic.
The principal has intentionally limited growth due to a preference for the company’s current scale. This creates an immediate and significant opportunity for a new owner to leverage the business's strong foundation, reputation, and market position to drive substantial growth.
Reason for selling
A desire by the principal to retire has led to the decision to explore an ownership exit. The current owner might be willing to remain temporarily in a limited capacity, providing a supportive transition for new leadership.
