Context

The management team of Easy Cash strengthened its equity position in a capital reorganization backed by historical shareholder Ouest Croissance Gestion and two new regional investors, Multicroissance and Océan Participations. This operation provides the group with fresh capital to accelerate its strategic ambitions. The roadmap focuses on three main pillars: geographical expansion of the physical store network, acceleration of e-commerce and digital channels, and the development of premium services (such as the 2-year warranty) to match new-product retail standards. The five original founders remain shareholders alongside the management team and financial partners, ensuring continuity in the brand's values. The franchise network's turnover is approaching €300 million, compared to €150 million in 2017

As a reminder, the company had previously received an investment from Ouest Croissance in 2017.

Ouest Croissance injected less than €5 million into Easy Cash to acquire a minority stake of slightly under 20%. This fundraising is specifically designed to accelerate the group's territorial density, focusing on opening new company-owned branches (subsidiaries) in the city centers of major French metropolises. The transaction also marks the entry of the network leader since 2010, into the capital structure. The historical founders based in Mérignac remain majority shareholders but accepted a slight dilution. Beyond physical expansion, the funds are intended to upgrade the group's digital offering to boost e-commerce revenues. The consolidated revenue of the franchise network is €150 million.
