A French family holding funding buy-ins.

A Paris family holding that invests its own capital in French companies at 2 million euros of EBITDA or more, 5 to 15 million euros per project, as a minority or majority shareholder. It files three of its current holdings as buy-ins alongside an incoming operator, one of them in its own words an MBI search fund transaction beside two searchers, and offers nothing for the search phase.

## At a Glance

A French acquisition round's [co-investor](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/co-investor) rather than a search backer: worth a call once you have a target past its floor, not before.

## What It Costs

Investment terms, not fees. Its approach page publishes the band, 5 to 15 million euros per project in companies at 2 million euros of EBITDA or more, invested from its own funds; nothing on the searcher's economics.

## Best For

A [searcher](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/searcher) buying a French company past 2 million euros of [EBITDA](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/ebitda) who needs a lead or co-investor for the acquisition round and has the search budget covered elsewhere

## Pros and Cons

- Pro: Publishes a size band and a floor, 5 to 15 million euros per project at 2 million euros of EBITDA or more, which most of this shelf does not
- Pro: Its holding pages name the incoming operator on three buy-ins and call one an MBI [search fund](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/search-fund) transaction
- Pro: Invests its own capital as a family holding, with no fund clock named anywhere on its pages
- Con: French companies only, and nothing on any page offers search-phase capital
- Con: One search fund sentence on about forty pages: the lane is family-holding [private equity](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/private-equity), and a searcher is one kind of buy-in it has backed
- Con: Its legal page and its contact page print two different Paris addresses, and its founding reads 1994 on one page and about twenty years on another

## What Searchers Say

Read whole, thirty-eight French pages and their English twins: twenty-nine current holdings with an entry year each and twenty-three exits as bare year ranges, no counts, no counters, no roster and no regulator named, since it invests its own capital.
