Testimonials

“The collaboration between MNF and Paragon for the sale of the building housing the Migros store in Le Locle was a remarkable experience, both in terms of its complexity and the quality of the exchanges we had with Paragon. This project was a real challenge: selling an old building in Le Locle while ensuring the operations of a renovated store on the ground floor. Paragon quickly stood out for their attentiveness and deep understanding of our needs. From the very first stages, their flexible approach and commitment to finding tailored solutions made it possible to address the numerous constraints of this transaction, whether it was related to the preliminary work required, the easement considerations, or the building’s energy requirements. What truly contributed to the success of this operation was Paragon’s ability to turn obstacles into opportunities. Whether during weekly meetings or more intense discussions leading up to the signing, Paragon consistently demonstrated availability, transparency, and a focus on win-win solutions. The responsiveness and composure of their teams, particularly Yan and the broker Pierre-Edouard, were invaluable at key moments. The story of this transaction is above all one of a partnership built on trust, commitment, and a shared vision. Working with Paragon was a pleasure, and I am convinced that this project is just the beginning of a fruitful collaboration for the future.”

“When I started considering the succession planning for my company, it was essential for me to find a solution that would preserve the legacy and excellence we had built over the years. The options were limited, but Paragon’s proposal quickly became the obvious choice. Paragon’s club-deal approach provided me with a team of investors who shared the same values and vision for the company’s future. What made the difference was their deep understanding of succession challenges, as well as the expertise they brought to the business. They also convinced me to stay involved, giving me the opportunity to ensure a smooth transition while supporting the future growth of Pépinières Genevoises. Today, I am proud to see the company in good hands, with strong growth prospects and synergies that will benefit both our employees and our clients. With Paragon, we have truly found a win-win agreement.”
