LegalPlace

What LegalPlace does

LegalPlace is a French legaltech founded in 2016 and headquartered in Paris (registered office at 60 rue François 1er, with a separate operations site at 47 rue Vivienne for its domiciliation service) that operates a vertically integrated platform targeting individual entrepreneurs, freelancers, and SMB founders across France. Its core offering is online company creation covering all major French legal forms (SAS, SASU, SARL, EURL, SCI, association, micro-enterprise), delivered through a guided online questionnaire that auto-generates statutes, files on the Guichet Unique (INPI), and publishes legal announcements, with three tiers (Basique at €0 HT, Standard at €99 HT, Express at €199 HT) and a formaliste-verified anti-rejection guarantee.

The platform has expanded well beyond creation into a multi-product stack that monetizes the SMB lifecycle. Recurring revenue lines include ComptaPlace online chartered-accountancy subscriptions (from €39/month), Paris domiciliation subscriptions (€17-€30/month), and LegalPlace Pro professional bank accounts with Mastercard Corporate cards (€6.90-€20/month, billed annually). One-time and document revenue comes from statut amendments, dissolutions, legal document templates, and a dedicated vehicle-registration subdomain, while LegalPlace Academy (launched 2025) adds higher-ticket CPF-eligible training programmes from €1,650. Distribution is purely digital, relying on a large SEO-optimized content library, per-form and per-profession landing pages, free legal simulators, and embedded Calendly callbacks; LP Expert extends the platform to lawyers and accountants as B2B channel partners. Technology stack is web-based SaaS with iOS/Android mobile apps for the LegalPlace Pro account, and includes AI-assisted expense categorization in the integrated accounting product.

The company is privately held (LegalPlace SAS), backed by Eurazeo, XAnge, and La Poste Ventures following a €20 million Series B in October 2022 and a larger ~$82 million growth round in May 2026, with 101-250 employees. It has cumulatively served more than 300,000 entrepreneurs since 2016, holds a Préfectoral agrémment for domiciliation and Qualiopi certification for training, and is currently expanding via both organic product launches and M&A (acquired legalstart.fr in May 2026; divested subsidiary Kanoon to Silae in April 2026).
