Rental Center: Investing in himself

Sam Moseley was born with an entrepreneurial spirit. Early in his life, he had the desire to start and run businesses. In fact, he owned a pressure-washing company while in high school, which he sold when he went to college at the University of Mississippi, majoring in banking and finance and managerial finance.

After graduation, he joined a private equity firm in Tampa, Florida, working with a firm that invested in high growth businesses across the technology, financials, and business and consumer services sectors.

In 2023, the entrepreneurial bug bit hard and he started looking for business opportunities in the Tampa area.

“I’m originally from Lakeland, Florida, and had a great childhood and family there. Although I went to college in Mississippi, I always knew that I wanted to come back and live in Florida,” says Moseley, the owner and founder of Hilltide Rentals.

Hilltide Rentals is a new equipment rental center in Gibsonton, Florida, a Tampa suburb. Opening in late April 2024, it’s beginning with scissor lift rentals and plans to add telehandlers and boom lifts by the end of the year.
