About us

BCP is a pre-eminent French private equity firm

Founded in 1991 at Walter Butler’s initiative, BCP is an investment fund backing change and transformation: we invest in turnarounds, underperforming companies, complex situations and companies seeking cash and support for a growth strategy.

A professional shareholder

BCP is a hands-on partner providing operational and financial expertise as well as capital. In support of the management of our companies, BCP is a dedicated, active and stable shareholder: key factors to the success of a turnaround or the growth of a company.

BCP is an independent investment management company, only involved in private equity, and based in Paris: this guarantees quick decision making and responsiveness.

Finally, our French background and our long experience give us a unique knowledge of the industrial and entrepreneurial fabric of French companies, and the ability to create and maintain close and trusting relationships with the management, employees and principal partners of our portfolio companies (suppliers, creditors, public bodies and unions).
