SCT Télécom is one of the main “switchless” telecom operators and the French leader in the SME market segment. Through a one-stop shopping system, SCT Télécom provides companies with a full range of innovative telecom services integrating fixed and mobile telephony, Internet, hosting solutions, data exchange and telephone equipment. Managed by its founder since its creation in 1997, SCT Télécom has 215 salaried employees spread over a network of 21 retail outlets.
• Positioned as the leader in the fast growing market of telecoms for SMEs, SCT offers the right range of services to customers interested in making substantial savings compared to the standard offers. • Recurring cash-flows and a flexible business model: a broad user base, increasing customer loyalty, a cost structure that is primarily variable and a business that is not highly capital intensive.
• Substantial growth prospects thanks to the launch of a mobile telephony offer and the reinforcement of its network in France and in the bordering French-speaking countries.
• A founding management that is pragmatic and ambitious, with a proven ability to anticipate and take advantage of the telecom market evolutions.
« With the Astorg team, we found the partner we needed to support the strong development of our group. We are tapping the Astorg team’s experience for structuring our group’s support functions while getting from them the means to conduct our growth strategy and broaden our service offer to French SMEs. The “business” approach of the Astorg team is completely in tune with SCT’s bottom up approach. Beyond their strong reactivity in supporting our actions and reflections, their build-up expertise is extremely useful in a market environment that is still rather fragmented. Finally, we have always been conscious of the need to foster employees’ promotion and the transaction is an opportunity to share the ownership with our most deserving managers as well as with new high potential recruits. »Pascal Chaboisseau, Founder and CEO of SCT Télécom
