What Oui Care does

Oui Care is the largest home services group in France, operating a multi-brand ecosystem of approximately 15 complementary companies that serve households across three life stages: Mieux Grandir (childcare and child development, including the Les Petits Bilingues English-learning franchise with 65+ centers), Mieux Vivre (daily household support through O2, APEF, La Compagnie des Lavandières, Maison Helya, and others), and Mieux Vieillir (senior and dependency care via Les Bienveillants, Autonomia care coordination, France Présence, Silver Alliance, and Spain's Bonadea). The group serves roughly 130,000 families daily through a network of more than 900 agencies and 23,000 collaborators, with O2 ranked as the #1 personal services brand in France. Distribution is overwhelmingly franchise-led: more than 300 franchisees operate under the O2, APEF, Les Bienveillants, Les Petits Bilingues, and La Compagnie des Lavandières brands, each with structured onboarding from business-plan design through operational launch.

The underlying technology is a franchise and care-coordination platform rather than a software product. Proprietary elements include the Autonomia network of Care Managers who accompany families through dependency-care pathways, a cognitive-science-based pedagogical method at Les Petits Bilingues built on musicality, play, and art, and the 'liberating management' operating model at La Compagnie des Lavandières (CDI 35h contracts, company cars, horizontal autonomy). The group has no consumer app, no public API, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. International delivery is via subsidiaries, master-franchises, and partnerships in Morocco, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Spain, Portugal, and Latin America.

Oui Care makes money through three streams: direct home-care service revenue across the multi-brand network (subscription/recurring household, childcare, senior, disability, and gardening services); franchise entry fees and ongoing royalties from the 300+ franchisee base; and recurring revenue from educational programs (Les Petits Bilingues for children and Les Pro Bilingues for professionals). The group became a French 'Entreprise à Mission' in April 2024 and is currently preparing to open its capital to accelerate the senior-services pivot and international expansion. Founder Guillaume Richard remains PDG; the company has raised approximately $122M across a 2018 round and a 2021 round led by AXA Group and CAPZA.
