About Perceva

Perceva is a French independent turnaround and special situations private equity fund with €390 million of assets under management, founded in 2007 by Jean-Louis Grevet (ex-Butler Capital Partners) and headquartered in Paris. The firm provides equity, recapitalisation and operational support to French companies facing complex financial or operational situations, with the turnaround-specific mandate distinguishing Perceva from traditional buyout peers.

Investment thesis

Perceva targets French SMEs and mid-cap companies in special situations including operational turnarounds, financial restructurings, carve-outs from larger groups, and selectively distressed acquisitions. Equity ticket sizes typically range from €10 million to €40 million per transaction, with the turnaround mandate requiring active operational engagement alongside management team renewal and strategic repositioning. The platform's specialised expertise in complex situations distinguishes Perceva from generalist mid-cap peers.

Recent activity

Recent realised exits include Dalloyau (hospitality, 2024), Lacelier (consumer, 2024) and Océalliance (consumer, 2022), reflecting active distribution across the turnaround portfolio. The platform tracks 2 funds, 5 active portfolio companies and 5 realised exits across the multi-vintage turnaround programme. Detailed buyer names and multiple data available on Pro at €49/month.
