We have advised Ardian on the sale of a minority stake in Batiweb Group to Omnes Capital.
Batiweb Group is France’s second-largest digital portal, connecting building trade professionals with consumers, primarily in the home renovation segment. The group operates in three complementary areas, intermediation, media, and B2B services, and generated approximately €10m in sales.
This transaction marks the exit of Ardian and the entry of Omnes Capital, alongside other minority investors Swen Capital Partners and Matmut. Nicolas Ricart, CEO and founder, remains the majority shareholder despite a partial cash-out of his stake.
With the additional capital raised through this transaction, Batiweb Group has acquired competitor Habitat Trade to expand its geographical reach and gain high-value expertise.
