DESCRIPTION

LBO France is an independent private equity group focused on acquiring majority stakes in French firms, or companies with French management. LBO France manages several funds, each targeting different types of businesses. The Firm's mid-market fund looks to acquire majority or minority stakes in companies valued from €100 million to €2.5 billion. The mid-market fund generally looks at companies with predictable sales, profits and cash flow, but will also consider businesses with under-utilized assets. LBO France's small cap fund targets majority stakes in smaller, profitable businesses valued from €10 to €100 million, with strong potential for growth or consolidation. In addition to its equity funds, LBO France also invests in real estate and provides LBO loans issued by medium-sized European companies (enterprise value between €150m and €2bn). LBO France was formed in 1985 and is based in Paris.
