The company

A company specializing in printing systems, telephony, electronic document management (EDM), and outsourcing, the ARJ group offers integrated solutions to its clients, VSEs and SMEs. The company has experienced recent acceleration thanks to external and organic growth occurring since 2019. With the objective of strengthening its positioning in Île-de-France and continuing its expansion in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the ARJ group wishes to make a new acquisition.

The operation

After the first discussions with the Ama Partners team, the planned operation consisted of a capital increase for the ARJ group to finance its external growth project. Alienor Partners was tasked with finding companies that met given criteria and, at the same time, structuring the financing with an investment fund and bank debt.

Also in business services, the Delta group presented all the characteristics sought, including strong skills in GED and outsourcing. This acquisition operation was financed by the Socadif investment capital fund and a banking pool formed by CIC, Crédit Agricole Île-de-France and Bpi.

Testimony

« Ama Partners supported us throughout the process with tenacity: from the search for a target to the negotiation with the seller, but also to structure the financing, whether in terms of balance sheet or debt. The Ama Partners team was at my side with professionalism and played the role of conductor in this operation. »
