Passing on your SME without changing its fundamental nature

PurpleShares acquires SMEs and transforms them into employee-owned businesses. Selling your SME? We can close the deal in less than 60 days, no strings attached.

The model

Employee share ownership at
PurpleShares

A proven economic model in Europe, which sustainably links employees to the success of your company.

1. A collaborative approach

We build your takeover plan together so that your company remains independent, locally rooted, and continues to grow with the existing teams. No dismantling, no short-sighted approach.

2. A fair and safe exit

We formulate offers aligned with your company's economic reality, without opportunistic motives or last-minute renegotiation. The gradual transfer to employees does not affect the price or your exit terms.

3. A clear human project

You choose your pace: gradual exit, occasional support, or complete withdrawal. Employees gradually become shareholders. They are trained, supported, and involved in the company's success.

What we do not do !

We have optimized the business transfer process

We don't promise a story we can't deliver

At PurpleShares, each acquisition is conceived as a long-term project, with total alignment between the seller and the employees.
