ORIGALY

What ORIGALY does

Origaly is a privately held French consulting firm (SAS, SIREN 921 143 426) incorporated in 2022 and headquartered in Ecully, near Lyon. The firm specializes in advisory services for French innovation financing mechanisms, primarily the Crédit d'Impôt Recherche (CIR), Jeune Entreprise Innovante (JEI) status, IP Box taxation, and CIR/CII agréments. Origaly is founded by four associated experts — Grégory Bograt (Président), Abel Wormser, Laurent Bousquet, and Yohan Nacache — who previously worked together for over a decade at a major international group specializing in innovation financing; Alexandre Duthoit joined as a fifth partner with textile-sector specialization.

The firm delivers services through a structured four-step methodology: Audit, Valorization, Justification, and Defense, designed to help clients identify eligible R&D activities, prepare fiscal dossiers, and defend claims during tax audits. Origaly's value proposition centers on senior-level continuity (no junior rotation), a maieutic consulting style, and a curated network of complementary partners (Start 2 Scale, RD2 Conseil, FSA Concept, Matters, PO Transactions, Réseau Mesure, Héros de l'Ordinaire) covering adjacent startup, recruitment, and CFO advisory needs. The firm targets a horizontal client base ranging from innovative startups and SMEs to ETIs and large corporations across diverse scientific domains including IT, electronics, microelectronics, energy, humanities/social sciences, and textiles.

Origaly operates as a sales-led professional services firm with relationship-based business development, primarily in France (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Grand Est regions). Revenue is generated through professional services fees for advisory engagements, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The company has no external shareholders, no funding rounds, and a modest €20,000 share capital, reflecting a founder-controlled model explicitly designed to operate without sales-target or profit-maximization pressure from external investors.
