Equalis Capital

Equalis Capital specializes in structuring and managing employee shareholding schemes, primarily for unlisted mid-sized and small-to-medium enterprises in France. The company provides a comprehensive suite of services, encompassing legal and fiscal structuring, preliminary company valuations, financial simulations, and regulatory documentation for employee savings plans. They also assist with financing, communication, financial management, and training, underpinned by their proprietary annual barometer and Equalis Index for measuring investment returns.

Founded on October 13, 2009, by key figures such as Jean-Philippe Debas and Matthieu Courbon, Equalis Capital emerged from the insight that widespread employee ownership fosters greater cooperation, competitiveness, and performance within companies. Their expertise allows businesses to become more efficient, responsible, and equitable by integrating employees directly into the financial success of their organizations.

The firm serves a broad client base of unlisted French companies seeking to implement robust employee shareholding programs. Equalis Capital’s overarching mission is to promote a more inclusive and responsible form of capitalism. Through initiatives like its philanthropic fund, Equalis Odyssée, the company actively works to facilitate the transfer of enterprises to employees, particularly within smaller SMEs, aiming to strengthen societal contributions and ensure long-term economic and employment stability.
