The Starting Point
It all began with Ianis Fourneau and Patrick Chalant, determined to tackle the “papy boom” that forces 30% of Walloon business owners to find a successor. Rather than watch the local economy decline, they founded BestValue in June 2014 to support business transfers.
Just three months later, they partnered with Antoine Renier, forming a strong trio of managing partners.
BestValue grew fast. New partners and collaborators joined the adventure, and success followed. The first closings came in 2016, with Urban Fitness in June and Afipa in September. Each time, clients praised the team’s availability, efficiency, and professionalism.
BestValue : becoming a Key Player in Business Transfers
Mission accomplished: BestValue quickly became a leading name in business transfers. The team combined youthful energy with experienced insights to keep growing. New talents like Jean-Luc Marcourt, Perrine Capelle, and Romain Simar joined the team to strengthen the company’s position.
Looking Ahead
Growth is far from over. In 2019, BestValue expanded its reach with a new network of business introducers. With around 30 companies currently for sale, the firm remains focused on high-quality, tailored M&A projects — continuing the path it carved out since day one.
