August Debouzy advised the founding shareholders of Spacinov, the French software company behind Spacivox, an omnichannel SaaS platform for B2C debt collection orchestration, on the investment by Quilvest Capital Partners as reference shareholder.
The transaction is structured as Spacivox’s first LBO/MBO, alongside Laurent Es Skheifi, co-founder and CEO of Spacivox, who retains a significant stake and remains fully committed to the group’s continued development. Jeremy Lainé, co-founder of the company, is also reinvesting as a minority shareholder, while several key managers are joining the shareholding structure.
Founded in Lille by Laurent Es Skheifi and Jeremy Lainé, Spacinov is a French software company and the publisher of Spacivox, an omnichannel SaaS platform designed to orchestrate B2C debt collection and optimise customer interactions. Spacivox supports more than 100 large corporate clients, notably in the banking, telecoms, utilities and insurance sectors, as well as debt collection agencies and judicial officers, in automating and optimising their collection processes.
Built on a no-code approach, cloud-native technology and a multichannel orchestration model — including voice, SMS/RCS, email, chatbot, AI voicebot and portal solutions — the platform processes more than 450 million interactions per year.
Quilvest Capital Partners’ investment is intended to support Spacivox’s next phase of growth, including the further enhancement of its platform, investment in artificial intelligence, the strengthening of its sales and customer success functions, and expansion into new markets in France and internationally.
The August Debouzy team advising Spacinov’s founding shareholders was led by Étienne Mathey (partner) along with François Richard (senior associate) and Albane Shehabi on corporate/M&A matters, as well as Elie Bétard (counsel) and Vincent Fromholz on tax matters.
