Service à la personne

What Service à la personne does

TravauxChezVous is a French Service à la Personne enterprise registered as a sole proprietorship (Entreprise Individuelle) in Blois and operated by Laurent LAROUSSARIE. Founded in 2009, it delivers small-scale home services — bricolage, painting, furniture assembly (IKEA and other retailers), gardening, apartment vigilance/home sitting, smoke detector (DAAF) installation, computer/IT assistance, and decoration advice — to residential customers primarily in Blois and Paris, with some coverage extending to Bordeaux-area customers. The business holds official SAP agrément N/101209/F/093/S/073, which makes all services eligible for the French 50% personal services tax credit, and it accepts Chèque Emploi Service Préfiancé vouchers via CR CESU.

The company operates on a labor-based, usage-driven revenue model with no proprietary technology platform. Standard hourly billing of €40/hour (€20 net after tax credit) is charged in 15-minute increments, supplemented by annual prepaid subscription bundles of 10/15/20 hours that include free travel and priority scheduling; a separate B2B channel (asap75.com) handles enterprises, associations, and syndicats de copropriété with VAT billing. Distribution is direct-to-consumer with services delivered at customer homes; the marketing strategy explicitly relies on word-of-mouth ("bouche à oreille"), supported by a website, Facebook page, and SEO. There is no disclosed revenue, no external funding, no employees on payroll, and no parent company — TravauxChezVous is structurally a one-person service business with ancillary partner sites (informatiquechezvous.fr, asap75.com) extending its surface.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• AlloMarcel: French online platform that matches homeowners with vetted handymen ('hommes toutes mains') for small jobs, furniture assembly, and home repairs. Most direct comparable because it targets the same customer use cases, same transaction sizes, and same small-DIY category where TravauxChezVous operates.
• NeedHelp: France-based marketplace connecting individuals with local service providers for handyman, moving, cleaning, and gardening tasks. Highly comparable on service scope, target customer (individual homeowners), and pay-as-you-go model; overlaps directly with bricolage, gardening, and furniture assembly offerings.
• MonJardinier: French gardening-services platform providing hedge trimming, maintenance, and small outdoor work through a network of gardeners. Comparable as a sub-segment peer: TravauxChezVous explicitly offers small gardening services under its SAP agrément (SAP512875717).

Broad incumbents

• O2 (O2 Care Services): One of France's largest Service à la Personne networks, offering home help, childcare, and household maintenance under the same 50% tax-credit framework. Broader incumbent — not a direct bricolage specialist, but competes for the same SAP-credentialed household wallet.
• AXEO Services: National French SAP franchise providing household maintenance, cleaning, and small home services through a network of local agencies. Comparable on the SAP positioning and small-maintenance scope, with much broader geographic and operational scale.
• Centre Services: French SAP franchise offering household maintenance, cleaning, and small handyman services. Comparable as a SAP-credentialed multi-service provider, though more diversified into cleaning and personal services than TravauxChezVous.
• APEF (Aide aux Personnes et aux Familles): French SAP franchise providing household maintenance, cleaning, and home help under the tax-credit framework. Comparable on the SAP positioning and residential customer focus, though more oriented toward personal services and cleaning than pure bricolage.
• Maison & Services: Franchise network in France delivering home services including small repairs, cleaning, gardening, and home-sitting under the SAP framework. Directly comparable on the SAP agrément mechanics and small-job service mix; larger scale and multi-region footprint.
• HomeServe France: French subsidiary of HomeServe providing home repair, emergency assistance, and service-contract coverage for plumbing, electrical, and appliance breakdowns. Comparable on residential repair and home-services category, but operates at much larger scale via subscription contracts.
• Vivaservices: French SAP franchise network offering household maintenance, gardening, and home-sitting services across multiple regions. Comparable on the multi-line SAP positioning and reliance on the 50% tax-credit framework.
