A technology company
that transfers SMEs

PurpleShares builds its own tools, from the first market signal to the management of the acquired company. This is what allows us to analyze more opportunities, position ourselves faster and secure every transaction.

An integrated platform

From detection to management

Where most players piece together off-the-shelf software, we have built a continuous chain. Each tool feeds the next: the data collected during sourcing is still used for the SME's reporting three years later.

Our tools

Five tools, one logic

01

Sourcing engine

Spot opportunities before anyone else

Our engine aggregates public data, private databases, business-for-sale marketplaces, our partners' deal flow and a range of APIs. The result is one of the highest-quality views of the business transfer market in Europe.

  • Continuous screening of a massive volume of companies
  • Weak transfer signals detected before any sale mandate
  • Position on a deal within a few hours

Scoring & valuation

The first SME scoring tool in Europe

Warren (its internal nickname) is our proprietary SME scoring and valuation engine. From just a few data points, it assesses a company's transferability, financeability and value, allowing us to position ourselves quickly without waiting for a complete file.

  • Transferability score and identified weak points
  • Substantiated valuation range, backed by multiples
  • A first answer based on a simple teaser

03

Deal making

Run several deals at once

Our deal-making tool orchestrates every transaction in progress and keeps all stakeholders, owner, buyer, advisers and lenders, aligned on the same status. Fewer back-and-forths, a faster closing.

  • Management of a large volume of deals in parallel
  • Stakeholders aligned on a shared view
  • Steps, deadlines and responsibilities tracked continuously

04

Audit & legal

Prepare the experts' work

From the financial information provided, the tool prepares the groundwork for the auditor and the lawyers we work with. They arrive on an already structured file and focus on what truly requires their expertise.

  • Documents and adjustments prepared before the experts step in
  • Points of attention and risk areas flagged upfront
  • Several weeks saved on the due diligence timeline

05

SME reporting

The buyer's copilot

After the takeover, the CEO has a clear, always-on view of the company and a structured channel with shareholders. No more spreadsheets rebuilt by hand the night before a board meeting.

  • Consolidated, up-to-date management indicators
  • Shareholder reporting generated automatically
  • A tool designed for a CEO, not for a financial analyst
