Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners (EdRip) has backed the management buyout of French cleaning company Europ Net from Samsic Group.

The firm invested via its €112m small-cap fund Cabestan Capital, which closed above its €100m target in November 2011 after seven months on the road. The fund typically provides equity tickets of €1-7m.

Europ Net's management, led by Stéphane Payan and Carlos de Moura, have invested alongside EdRip and hold a majority stake in the business. The management has reportedly taken a 59% stake, with the balance going to EdRip.

Samsic is a business services provider and the second-largest cleaning company in France. The Rennes-based group, founded in 1986, has acquired 80 businesses since its formation and is present in France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and the UK. It employs 70,000 staff and generated €1.45bn in revenues last year.

Debt
A senior debt package, reportedly of around €10m, has been arranged for the deal by LCL, alongside Banques Populaire Rives de Paris and Caisse d'Epargne Ile-de-France. Trocadero Capital Partners has provided a mezzanine facility, reported to be €3m.

Company
Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Nanterre, Europ Net offers cleaning services in the Ile-de-France region. It aims its services at the "high-end market", namely large company headquarters, luxury hotels and stores, government and historical buildings, and private schools.

The company generated around €8m in turnover last year and hopes to achieve €25m in 2014. It hopes to increase this further to €35m within the next three years.
