Its client base spans SMEs and mid-market companies, agricultural businesses (200+ farms served), startups and scale-ups (500+ over a decade with €300M+ in facilitated fundraising 2018–2020), associations and non-profits in the social economy, and liberal professions.

The firm is structured as a Société par actions simplifiée (SAS) with €1,000,000 in social capital, registered in Épinal, France.
