Our consultants are accustomed to working in an international context and cover the following geographical areas under the supervision of a country manager:

RightLiens has a diverse client base

Our clients are mainly SMEs, mid-caps and capital investors (investment funds, family offices, entrepreneurial funds), both European and non-European. They are mainly active in the business sectors we cover. In addition to consulting services for the disposal and acquisition of companies, they are seeking operational or even strategic business knowledge.

In some business sectors, we may work with competing companies. This is a very important point. It demonstrates the professionalism of the team, capable of managing competing interests on a continuous basis and in the strictest confidentiality. For instance, for more than 10 years we have been working with two major players competing in a regulated profession, helping them with their external growth projects. There has never been the slightest problem of interference between the two.

Above and beyond words, management of confidentiality is part of our daily life and our processes.

The processes are often dictated by our clients and formally defined in our contractual documentation such as our engagement letters, with tailored interactive reporting systems.

This applies to each type of mission:

• acquisition of a majority or minority shareholding
• equity contributions in different formats
• raising capital in the seed or development phase
• search for financing in complex situations: capital, subordinated debt, bank debt, etc.
• search for a group to take over a company in a turnaround phase
• special operations such as OBO, MBO, MBI, Spin-Off, etc.
• operational and strategic consulting (optimization of the company’s performance, its growth, etc.)
• also occasionally, operationssuch as, company transfers, disposal of a majority shareholding, disposal of a minority shareholding, etc.

RightLiens key figures

We carry out around ten operations every year, with valuations ranging from €5 to €200 million, and an average valuation of €20 million.

These figures are simply the result of the French economic fabric, which is more “small” than “mid” oriented.

We are convinced that we are going through an exhilarating period in terms of business strategy and disposal and acquisition of businesses. New technologies, digitalization, digitization and also internationalization of business activities are causing mature companies to transform their offers, products, processes, action plans, etc

Our consultants have the skills to grasp these issues, to give business leaders solutions, and then to implement them.

We are being contacted increasingly by start-ups who are developing an innovative technology or offer, but don’t have the expertise this market requires and are unfamiliar with its “habits and customs”. In this situation, our consultants bring tremendous added value. They can be a real driving force to create value Each market has its own codes and prerequisites.

That’s why it’s important to specialize in each sector: theory and common sense can never replace empirical knowledge!

Ethics at RightLiens

In addition to our professional commitment, RightLiens, the consulting specialist for financial investment and business transfers, is committed to causes that are dear to its heart:

– sick children with Le Rire Médecin

https://www.leriremedecin.org. Le Rire Médecin brings hospitalised children a moment when they can escape and forget their suffering, with clowns who come to entertain them during their hospital stay. We cannot accept a child’s suffering and sometimes their loneliness in the face of illness.

– people who are socially disconnected, with Creasol.: https://www.creasol.frCreasol enables people who are socially disconnected to receive a credit in order to get a job or create their own business. We cannot accept that these enterprising people are being rejected by the traditional banking system and are excluded from the community.

The team works in the same spirit, determined to make our clients’ projects a success, by understanding their needs and speaking the same language.

All our consultants have been in the situations encountered by our clients: selling or acquiring a company, searching for financing, or making binding or even strategic operational decisions. This naturally creates bonds and brings people together.

Clients are reassured by our ability to help them make a constructive decision, and by our entrepreneurial experience.
