Revenue model

1. Prestataire (service-provision) revenue: In prestataire mode the company is the direct employer and provider of home-care services to the end client, billing the client for the interventions performed. The company handles planning, HR, recruitment, leave and absence management, and quality monitoring.
2. Mandataire (placement / mandate) revenue: In mandataire mode the company signs a mandate contract with the household, which acts as the direct employer of the intervener. LMT Services handles payroll, employment contract, recruitment, quality follow-up, absence management and legal advice, generating service/management fees from the household. This mode is pitched as offering better pay to the intervener, planning flexibility between the household and the intervener, and continuity of personnel.
3. Franchise revenue (network expansion): A dedicated franchise site (franchise.lmt-services.fr) and an explicit "Devenir franchisé" contact form indicate the company monetises its brand and operating model through a franchise network across metropolitan France and Martinique, generating franchise/royalty/licensing-style income in addition to direct service revenue.
