MBO+ has acquired a minority stake in SYXPERIANE, a fast-growing French systems integrator specialising in ERP, CRM, HRIS, and BI software for SMEs and mid-market firms.

The deal was executed via MBO+’s Flex fund, with support from co-investors Ouest Croissance and Sofival.

The investment aims to accelerate SYXPERIANE’s growth strategy through both organic initiatives and bolt-on acquisitions. Founded in 2007 by Laurent Fleury, the company is recognised as France’s top integrator of Cegid XRP Ultimate and Divalto solutions. It operates nine regional offices with more than 200 employees, delivering services to clients in sectors including retail, banking, manufacturing, and agri-food.

“SYXPERIANE completed its first LBO in 2018, enabling strong growth through a mix of organic expansion and M&A,” said Laurent Fleury, founder of SYXPERIANE. “We chose MBO+ for their entrepreneurial mindset, collaborative approach to governance, and ability to align with our long-term vision.”

The deal also expands employee ownership, with 60 new participants joining the capital, bringing the total number of employee shareholders to 80.

Franklin Henrot, Partner in charge of MBO+’s Flex strategy, commented: “SYXPERIANE has grown rapidly thanks to its expertise in high-value ecosystems. Our investment allows the management team to step back strategically while providing the means to pursue their momentum.”

This marks the fifth investment for the MBO Flex fund, which closed its first deal in 2024 after raising €100m. The fund targets non-dilutive capital solutions for entrepreneurs seeking growth, acquisitions, or shareholder reorganisation.
