BTP CONSULTANTS acquired by APAX PARTNERS & BPIFRANCE

Apax Partners and Bpifrance have entered into an exclusive agreement to acquire a majority stake in BTP Consultants Group, marking a pivotal primary LBO and management transmission. The transaction facilitates the handover from the founder to a new leadership team, which is reinvesting significantly alongside the institutional shareholders. This transition includes an expansion of the employee shareholding base, increasing the number of management-shareholders from six to over twenty. The transaction is driven by the strategic objective of transitioning the group into a national leader through a combined strategy of organic growth and targeted external consolidation. Key development axes include the reinforcement of high-potential segments such as energy renovation, energy diagnostics, and BIM-integrated project management. With the support of its new partners, the organization aims to pursue a proactive build-up strategy to enter new geographic regions and acquire complementary technical expertises, specifically in carbon performance and civil engineering inspection. The operation is supported by a unitranche debt facility designed to provide the group with the financial flexibility required to meet its ambitious scaling objectives while maintaining a focus on technical excellence and customer-centric innovation.
