"Every sale to PurpleShares protects jobs and local expertise while creating collective entrepreneurs."
Purpleshares in a nutshell
PurpleShares is an investment company specializing in the acquisition and sustainable transfer of SMEs. Unlike traditional financial approaches, we retain ownership of companies for the long term and gradually open their capital to employees, who become shareholders in their workplace.
Our ambition is to offer a fair exit for the manager, to preserve jobs and to allow companies to continue their local development.
Faced with the mass retirement of business leaders, we have designed a unique model combining financing, human support and technology to make the transfer simpler, faster and more accessible.
