AGC Portage Salarial

What AGC Portage Salarial does

AGC Portage Salarial, operating commercially as Akuit, is a French wage portage (portage salarial) company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Manosque, France. Portage salarial is a France-specific tripartite employment arrangement in which an independent consultant contracts with a portage company that becomes their legal employer, billing the end client, collecting fees, and providing full French employee social protection. Akuit operates in this regulated market as a PEPS union member and holder of the PEPS Label, serving two primary customer segments: (1) freelancers and independent consultants who want to deliver services without creating their own legal entity, and (2) enterprises that need flexible access to external expertise without assuming employer liability.

Akuit's core product is the standard Portage Salarial service, supplemented by specialized vertical variants: Portage Commercial for sales consultants, Portage Salarial Immobilier for real estate professionals, and Portage International for cross-border engagements. Adjacent offerings include Qualiopi-certified training programs, Bilan de Compétences (skills assessments), and a public-facing salary simulation tool used as a lead-generation mechanism. The technology stack is not publicly documented beyond a self-service consultant portal (acces.akuit.fr) and the Wix-hosted marketing site.

The business model is fee-based on ported gross salaries: Akuit retains a margin on each consultant's billed salary after covering social charges and withholding payroll taxes. Revenue is therefore recurring in nature, scaling with the number of active ported employees and the gross salary volume processed. Reported 2024 revenue was €22.4M, generated across 8,000+ ported employees since inception and 1,500+ referenced client companies. Distribution is primarily direct-to-customer via the website and inside sales, supported by referral dynamics — over 35% of ported employees are co-opted, indicating community-driven growth. Customer ratings are strong (4.9/5 on Google, 5/5 on Survio practitioner evaluations in 2023), supporting retention, but no AI, automation, or proprietary technology differentiation was disclosed.
