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 buy back in order to resell quickly
No team travel or remote decision-making
No degradation of corporate culture in favor of performance.
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.
How does PurpleShares work?
We have optimized the business transfer process

1. Validation of interest
Validation of interest
We meet business owners via videoconference, quickly review the information provided, and confirm our interest during a call within 48 hours.
2. Analysis and verification
Analysis and verification
If interest is confirmed, we immediately begin detailed analysis: finances, operations, HR, contracts, and company structure. Depending on complexity, this step can take up to 20 days.


3. Positioning and closing
Positioning and closing
We take a majority stake or acquire SMEs from retiring or stepping down owners with a cash offer and flexible earn-out terms guaranteeing them a safe transition.
