Team Business Centers

What Team Business Centers does

Team Business Centers (TBC), founded in 2012 in Paris as a SAS, operates a network of independent business centers rather than owning workspace assets outright. The network federates 73 addresses across 42+ cities in France and eight international markets (Belgium, Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Switzerland, UAE), offering approximately 2,500 workspaces to roughly 9,000 clients. Core services include furnished office rental, meeting room hire, coworking, and business address domiciliation; these are sold on hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly terms through affiliated members and, since January 2024, exclusively through the Choose and Work online booking platform.

The technology layer comprises four proprietary products deployed across the network: TBCRM (a cloud-based business-center CRM with TRACFIN anti-money-laundering compliance and online domiciliation modules), a web-based online booking agenda with calendar synchronization and payment integration, Bluetooth-connected smart locks with remote gateway management, and a cloud-hosted telephony platform supporting multi-device softphones and call routing. Integration with external calendar systems and a Planyo-powered booking widget on the homepage indicate a hybrid proprietary/third-party stack. Data is stored in France and the company is GDPR-compliant, with a French-based support function.

Revenue mechanics rest on three pillars: (1) affiliate membership fees (Affilié TBC at €164/month HT, Partenaire TBC free), (2) commissions of 10-20% on workspace rental transactions routed through network members, and (3) recurring subscriptions for the proprietary technical solutions sold to affiliated and external business centers. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, a small corporate team (1-10 employees at the SAS level), and leadership anchored by three co-founders — Thierry Vecchione, Bruno Rébillé, and Cyrille Soulet — none of whom carry public LinkedIn profiles in the data. Network members typically also belong to SYNAPHE and adhere to AFNOR X50772 and French prefecture-approval requirements, embedding industry-standard regulatory compliance into the operating model.
