We have advised IK Investment Partners alongside Maxime Aiach, Philippe Coléon, and José Dinis on the acquisition of Domia Group, which includes Acadomia, one of the leading French players in the private tutoring market, and Shiva, a fast-growing French home cleaning provider, from Metric Capital Partners.

Acadomia is a leading player in the primary, secondary, higher-education, and test-prep tutoring markets, including at-home, centres, and online. The company operates a network of 100 agencies and 20,000 tutors for over 90,000 students.

Shiva is one of the leading and fastest-growing players in the home cleaning market. The company operates through a network of 165 franchised agencies.

In 2017, Domia Group generated c.€150m in sales.

This operation allows IK Investment Partners to acquire the majority shareholding from the historic shareholder, Metric Capital Partners, alongside the founders who include Maxime Aiach, Philippe Coléon, and José Dinis.

IK Investment Partners aims to develop Domia Group, both in the home cleaning market and in primary, secondary, and test-prep tutoring sectors.

Acadomia studying

We were impressed with the track record Domia has achieved since its inception. Acadomia has established an enviable and unique position within the French tutoring market by delivering students the best and most innovative solutions and programs. As far as Shiva is concerned, IK Investment Partners will continue to expand its footprint across France. We look forward to working closely with the founders to support the continued growth of these two exciting brands.
