Tikehau Capital is a partner to companies of all sizes, helping them to finance their activities. Our entrepreneurial DNA gives us a strong and immediate understanding of companies' needs.

Private debt: we finance medium-sized companies, supporting entrepreneurs in their growth and development projects.

  • In particular, we support companies in certain sectors for which access to financing is difficult, but which represent exceptional sectors for the French economy.
    Through Sofiprotéol Dette Privée ("SDP"), launched in collaboration with Groupe Avril, the leading French agri-food company serving the oils and proteins sector, we are financing the development of 13 companies in the sector, including :
    • De Sangossea specialist in plant protection, nutrition and pest control. SDP has invested €7.5 million in a bond issue to finance the company's international development;
    • Maîtres laitiers du Contentina dairy cooperative, has borrowed €10 million to finance a production unit for infant milk destined for the Chinese market, enabling the cooperative to better weather the recent milk crisis;
    • Hypredan innovator in biosafety solutions, was acquired by its management from its shareholder, whose loan was partly provided by SDP, thus enabling a business considered marginal to take off;
    • Ponroy Santéa leader in dietary supplements, was able, thanks to SDP, to be taken over by its management, as the founder had no succession solution, and to expand in China thanks to a specialized investment fund.
  • We also manage several funds providing loans or bonds to SMEs, enabling them to accelerate or sustain their development.
    The NOVO II (2013) and NOVI I (2015) funds, launched under the aegis of the Caisse des dépôts et consignations and the Fonds de réserve des retraites, have developed an alternative financing offer. NOVI I boasts greater flexibility, and can invest in both debt and equity instruments, to offer companies comprehensive financing.
    Here are a few examples:
    • DCG (Dietrich Carebus Group), one of France's leading coach distribution and after-sales service companies, has benefited from NOVI I's subscription to a €10 million convertible bond and a €5 million senior loan to pursue its development in green mobility;
    • Development Clinican operator of clinics in Normandy, has received a €5 million capital and convertible loan from NOVI I, enabling it to take over the Le Normandy group, a leader in long-term hospitalization;
    • Lebronze Alloysa specialist in the production of alloys and superalloys based in the Marne region of France, has borrowed a total of €22 million from NOVO II and NOVI I to support its international expansion and innovation program.

Private equity: we provide stable capital to private companies with strong growth potential.

Tikehau Capital supports business development. Here are a few examples:

  • DRTa resins specialist based in south-west France, turned to Tikehau Capital for €40 million in equity to finance a transforming acquisition in the United States that will enable it to export its know-how internationally;
  • Asten Santéone of France's leading home healthcare service providers and founded in 2013 by associations supporting chronically ill people, was able, thanks to investment from Tikehau Capital in 2014 and 2016, to develop its activities, particularly in telehealth, before joining the orbit of La Poste Group and its personal services activities.
  • Neonessone of the key players in the French fitness industry, chose to join forces with Tikehau Capital in December 2015 to support its strong growth in fitness for the general public, but also in innovative projects around high-end city sports, with the launch in 2017 of the new Episod brand. Thanks to the success of its offering, the Neoness group opened around ten new gyms in 2016 etc., and now boasts 25 gyms.

Real estate: we enable companies to free up resources by relieving their balance sheets of capital-intensive fixed assets
