SO'Lifes

What SO'Lifes does

SO'Lifes is a French personal services company founded in 2011 in Montpellier by Rémi GARCIA. It provides human-centered care and accompaniment services for persons with disabilities, elderly individuals in loss of autonomy, RQTH-holding workers, and students with disabilities across France. The company operates through four integrated service poles: Pôle Transport (TPMR adapted vehicles for persons with reduced mobility), Pôle Domicile (home assistance including daily living, meals, hygiene, and 24/7 support), Pôle Accompagnement Professionnel (workplace disability accommodation), and Pôle Accompagnement Étudiant / SO'LAW (university student accompaniment). A dedicated SO'LAW sub-brand is registered for professional and student inclusion services, described as unique in France.

The business model is service-based with hourly billing (e.g., €26.90/h TTC for Prestataire home assistance, from €3.44/h TTC for Mandataire after tax credit, from €60/day for TPMR vehicle rental) and surcharges for nights, Sundays, and public holidays. All services qualify for a 50% French tax credit and are compatible with public funding mechanisms including PCH, APA, AGEFIPH (private-sector employer financing), and FIPHFP (public-sector employer financing). Distribution is hybrid: three physical agencies (Montpellier HQ at 80 Place Georges Frêche, Paris at 117 Rue de Charenton, Corbeil-Essonnes at 67 Boulevard Henri Dunant) for direct B2C and SMB delivery, plus enterprise field sales for employer and university institutional contracts available nationwide.

SO'Lifes employs approximately 130 caregivers, drivers, and coordinators (per company website and scale commentary) across France, with an average salary reported 6.5% above market and retention-focused incentives. Notable customers and partners include Montpellier Métropole, Sanofi, CNRS, Ministère de la Justice, Ministère de l'Écologie, CHU (university hospitals), MDPH, AGEFIPH, FIPHFP, and a network of universities accessed via SO'LAW. The company is an independent family-owned private firm with no disclosed external investors, has won the Trophée des Services à la Personne in 2023 and 2025, and sponsors the Sharks de Montpellier Handi-Rugby team since 2021. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is human-centered with no AI/ML capabilities, apps, or APIs disclosed.

Emerging players

• Alenvi: Tech-enabled French home care and elder-care operator with a more digital matching and training infrastructure. Represents the digital-native threat to traditional SAP operators like SO'Lifes.

Direct peers

• Domidom: French personal services provider offering home help, elder care, and disability support nationwide. Direct competitor across the Domicile and disability segments with comparable SAP pricing models.
• Age d'Or Services: Franchised French network specializing in elder and disability home services. Comparable on Domicile pole and beneficiary profile, with multi-region agency density that SO'Lifes currently lacks.
• APF France Handicap: Major French disability association providing advocacy, accompaniment, and support services. Overlaps with SO'Lifes' professional and student accompaniment poles and shares a similar disability-inclusion mission.
• O2 Care Services: Major French personal services brand offering home help, childcare, and elder care with multi-region density. Direct competitor to SO'Lifes' Domicile pole with significantly larger scale and broader marketing reach.
• Vitalliance: French specialist in home care for people with disabilities and seniors, with strong AGEFIPH/FIPHFP financing expertise. Highly comparable to SO'Lifes on disability focus, PCH/AGEFIPH funding flows, and home-assistance delivery model.
• ADMR: France's largest federated network of home and personal services, providing home help, family services, and elder care nationwide. Comparable to SO'Lifes across the Domicile pole and beneficiary profile, though broader in scope and geographically denser.
• Azaé (formerly Axeo Services): Network of local personal-services agencies offering home help, elder care, and disability support across France. Comparable agency-network model and SAP positioning to SO'Lifes.
• Amelis: French personal services agency offering home help, family services, and elder care with multi-city coverage. Comparable SAP-certified agency model with similar pricing tiers and beneficiary focus.

Broad incumbents

• UNA: French federation representing personal services providers and home care organizations. Functions as both an umbrella for many of SO'Lifes' competitors and a policy/standards setter in the SAP sector.
