NEXTSTAGE / SOCADIF invest in GROUPE PIERRE YOVANOVITCH

By acquiring a minority stake in this design house, which generates just under in turnover, the financial consortium executes a growth equity transaction aimed at funding immediate geographic expansion. Structured as a capital increase, the transaction injects direct equity into the company's balance sheet while ensuring that the founder and the existing management team retain absolute majority control of the shareholding structure. The lead sponsor invests through its specialized vehicles, which are generally configured for equity tickets ranging between four and seven million euros. Strategically, the allocation of these new funds targets three main objectives: scaling the furniture publishing division, financing the rollout of new commercial locations with a targeted focus on the Asian market, and building a capital reserve to explore potential bolt-on acquisitions. The business plan projects a consolidated turnover of €54 million by the 2028 financial horizon. The execution of this funding round involved comprehensive due diligence: the investor consortium mandated Fieldfisher to structure the legal framework, while Mortier & Co conducted the financial audits. Supplementary ESG and human resources due diligence were managed by BetterWay and Lauda Capital, respectively. On the sell-side, the management team was advised by the investment bank Rothschild & Co, with legal structuring managed by Bird & Bird.
