sector Consulting & Technology Services
After two successful steps of management buy-in, supported by UI Investissement in 2017 and 2020, and joined by Andera Acto and IRD Invest in 2020, the Sfeir Group refinances and thus organizes the exit of the mezzanine fund.
Customer Sfeir

The Sfeir Group employs nearly 800 developers specialized in the development of cutting-edge applications. The preferred programming languages are Java, JavaScript, Go, .NET, NodeJS, and Python.

Counterparties UI Investissement

UI supports the growth of unlisted SMEs and mid-sized companies (ETIs) across France at all stages of their development.

Counterparties Andera Acto

Andera Acto supports management teams looking to acquire or strengthen their majority stake in the capital or finance growth projects.

Counterparties IRD Invest

IRD Invest helps startups, SMEs, and mid-sized companies (ETIs) grow and supports them in their ambitions by accelerating their transformations.

Counterparties Banque Populaire Rives de Paris

This operation, in anticipation of the mezzanine OBSA held by Andera Acto, reflects the growth and development trajectory of the Sfeir Group over the past three years and allows for the restructuring of its debt by resorting to new senior debt. This structuring operation for the Group was made possible thanks to the renewed trust from its historical banking pool (BPRI, CEIdF, LCL, and BNPP), complemented by the Group’s own resources to cover all the needs of the operation. UI Investissement and IRD Invest continue to support the Group and maintain their respective stakes.

The Sfeir Group is a French pure player in digital technology, implementing the most innovative applications in Cloud environments. Additionally, the Sfeir Group brings its expertise in development, around cloud, data, and machine learning to the most demanding organizations.

The Group nurtures an identity of highly skilled expert developers, addressing the complex challenges of transforming and digitalizing business models. The Sfeir Group is now recognized as a “market-maker,” capable of addressing strategic needs (through its new subsidiary Wenvision) while providing cutting-edge, differentiating, and even disruptive technological solutions that create value.

The Group employs over 800 experts and consultants serving major clients, especially in the digital sector. The teams are spread across seven locations in France, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

This refinancing operation enables the Sfeir Group to continue its development and strengthen its position as a key player in the market.
