INSPIRING SPORT CAPITAL
INSPIRING SPORT CAPITAL is a French société par actions simplifiée (SAS) registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register (RCS Paris) under SIREN 883 426 231, immatriculated on 14 May 2020 with activity starting on 11 May 2020. Its registered office is at 88 rue de Courcelles, 75008 Paris, which is also its only establishment (SIRET 883 426 231 00014). The French business register lists it as active. Its intra-community VAT number is FR85883426231.
The company describes itself as a Paris-based private equity firm dedicated to the sports industry. Its website, whose legal notice names INSPIRING SPORT CAPITAL SAS and quotes the same Paris register number, also gives an office at 28 Cours Albert Ier, 75008 Paris. Its registered activity code (NAF) is 70.22Z, business and other management consultancy, and the national business register records it as an employer in the 1–2 employee band (2024).
The best-documented transaction is the purchase of Millet Mountain Group, the Annecy-based owner of the Millet and Lafuma mountain-sports brands, from Calida Group. The seller’s adviser described the buyers as Inspiring Sport Capital and a private investor, and the sale closed on 20 April 2022.
INSPIRING SPORT CAPITAL does not appear as an authorised portfolio management company in the AMF’s open-data list (published 15 October 2026) or in the AMF GECO database, both of which return known managers such as Ardian France and Elevation Capital Partners. The sources reviewed show the company itself as a party to its transactions; no fund managed by it, and no regulated manager acting for it, was identified.
INSPIRING SPORT CAPITAL has filed annual accounts for each financial year from 2020 to 2025. The most recent accounts, for the year to 31 December 2025, were announced in BODACC on 26 July 2026. Each filing carries a confidentiality declaration under article L.232-25 of the French Commercial Code, so the income statement is not public. The open INPI dataset of individual (non-consolidated) accounts gives a net result of €384,528 for 2022. It also shows turnover as zero, but because the income statement is confidential, that zero should not be read as an absence of revenue. BODACC carries no insolvency or striking-off notice for the company.

Shareholders of INSPIRING SPORT CAPITAL
No public filing names the shareholders of INSPIRING SPORT CAPITAL (SIREN 883 426 231). The company is a French SAS. The French trade and companies register and BODACC publish an SAS’s share capital and officers, but not its share register. The capital was €10,000 when the company was incorporated in May 2020. BODACC notice B20210056775, published on 21 March 2021, records an increase to €12,539. Neither notice names who subscribed.
The shareholder table on this page comes from a data provider and lists two named individuals as 50% holders, each with one ordinary share valued at about €5,000.55. No register entry, BODACC notice or filed document supports those rows. They do not reconcile with the published capital either: two shares of about €5,000 add up to roughly the €10,000 at incorporation, not the €12,539 recorded since March 2021. They should not be relied on as a statement of who owns the company.
The 2022 sale of Millet Mountain Group was reported as a sale to Inspiring Sport Capital and a private investor. That describes what the company bought, not who owns it.
Data availability
Status: Not public. French registers do not publish the shareholders of an SAS. The register of beneficial owners (RBE) has been closed to the general public since the CJEU judgment of 22 November 2022, so no beneficial owner can be named from public sources. This does not mean the company has no shareholders or beneficial owners.

Group Structure
Group structure of INSPIRING SPORT CAPITAL
No public filing identifies a parent company of INSPIRING SPORT CAPITAL (SIREN 883 426 231). The corporate-structure graph on this page, drawn from a data provider, places it under INSPIRING INVEST LIMITED, an English company (Companies House 09160546). The documented link between the two is an office, not an ownership stake. Under its former name, INSPIRING SPORT CAPITAL LIMITED, the English company was the French company’s Président from incorporation in May 2020 until 21 July 2021. Its accounts to 31 August 2025 show £4,283 of investments in unnamed associates and do not name the French company. That is not enough to treat it as a parent.
Below the company, the graph places the Millet group. The sale of Millet Mountain Group closed on 20 April 2022 and was reported as a sale to Inspiring Sport Capital and a private investor, but the size of the company’s stake was not disclosed. MILLET AND CO (SIREN 908 568 462, Annecy) is the holding company of the Millet group, and the French register lists INSPIRING SPORT CAPITAL among the persons recorded against it. Neither source shows that INSPIRING SPORT CAPITAL controls MILLET AND CO, so the Millet companies are not presented here as its subsidiaries. Some of the graph’s entries are not Millet subsidiaries at all: Norwegian organisation number 936 555 713 is a branch of the French Millet Mountain Group SAS (organisational form NUF), not a separate company, and “Miele Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd” has no evident connection to the group.

Data availability
Status: Not found for a parent; partial for the Millet investment. French registers do not publish an SAS’s shareholders, so neither a parent nor an ownership percentage can be confirmed from public sources. This does not mean the company is independent.
