Partial buyout – Rebalancing capital, opening a new chapter
The departure of a shareholder, whether desired or provoked, can become a real opportunity for the company.
Firstly, it is an opportunity to clarify governance and reorganise it around a project and a team that are aligned. It is also a time to welcome a new professional shareholder who can bring resources, perspective and, in some cases, useful strategic support to help the company reach a new milestone.
Finally, this transaction can enable the manager or the existing team to strengthen their capital position, with the support of the incoming investor, in a balanced dilution approach.
When well prepared, a shareholder exit can thus become a lever for simplification, structuring and revitalisation for the company.
