Core offering

Cabinet Martin M&A is a consulting firm that secures public and private subsidies on behalf of individuals (homeowners) and professionals (TPE, PME, associations, local authorities). Services cover eligibility audits, application dossier assembly, project coordination with funding bodies, and post-financing compliance, with fees charged only upon successful funding (paiement à la réussite).

Product overview

Cabinet Martin M&A is a consulting firm specializing in subsidy acquisition and funding support services, not a software product company. The firm's offering consists of core consulting services (eligibility audit, application assembly, project monitoring, and success-based billing) supplemented by specific sub-services for two client segments: individuals (MaPrime Rénov', CEE primes, photovoltaic panels, residential energy renovation, self-consumption aid) and professionals (corporate CEE, public subsidies, European funds, ecological transition). Additional offerings include post-financing support (convention follow-up, compliance, custom tools) and three partnership models (one-time engagement, recurring partnership, training & autonomy). All services operate on a success-fee basis with zero upfront cost to clients.

Direct peers

• HelloSubvention: French consultancy focused on identifying and securing public subsidies, tax credits, and funding for businesses and associations. Directly comparable in service scope (subsidy audit, dossier assembly, success-based pricing) and in target customers (PME, associations, collectivités).
• Vertone: French boutique management and corporate finance consultancy advising mid-market clients on strategy, operations, and financing. Comparable as a French boutique advisory firm serving TPE/PME on complex funding and growth decisions, though broader in scope than Cabinet Martin's subsidy specialization.
• Ecofinance: France-based advisory firm specializing in CEE and energy efficiency funding for businesses. Direct competitor in the CEE professional segment with overlapping customer types (PME, SCI, real estate operators) and comparable service model (audit, dossier assembly, follow-up to disbursement).
• Greenkis: France-based CEE (Certificats d'Économie d'Énergie) advisory and aggregation specialist serving professionals and individuals with energy efficiency funding support. Direct competitor in the CEE segment of Cabinet Martin's offering, with comparable success-fee and eligibility-audit propositions.

Broad incumbents

• Bpifrance: French public investment bank that is both a primary source of the public subsidies Cabinet Martin M&A helps clients access (CEE, innovation grants, regional co-financing) and a broader advisory player. Comparable as a French public-funding ecosystem counterparty, though Bpifrance operates at vastly larger scale and is itself a funding body, not a pure advisory firm.
• Antea Group France: French engineering and environmental consultancy that supports industrial, public-sector, and energy clients in accessing subsidies and grants for ecological transition and infrastructure projects. Comparable in the professional/industrial CEE and ecological-transition advisory segment, but much larger and engineering-led rather than pure funding advisory.

Others

• ADEME: French ecological transition agency that designs and disburses many of the energy and ecological-transition subsidies Cabinet Martin M&A's professional clients target (e.g., Fonds Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine via ADEME co-financing). It is a primary funding source for the same ecosystem rather than a direct competitor, but highly relevant as the upstream counterpart whose programs drive Cabinet Martin's pipeline.
• France Rénov': Official public service platform for energy renovation guidance, including MaPrime Rénov' information. Comparable as a counterpart in the particuliers subsidy journey Cabinet Martin serves; not a competitor for advisory fees but shapes the addressable market and DIY substitution risk.

Emerging players

• Ekopolis Conseil: French consultancy advising local authorities, associations, and SMEs on European funds (FEDER, FSE+, LEADER) and ecological-transition grants. Comparable niche overlap in the European-funds / ecological-transition segment of Cabinet Martin's professional offering.
• Aides-entreprises: Online platform aggregating French public subsidies and funding programs for businesses, with tools for eligibility search and dossier support. Comparable as an alternative channel for SMEs seeking public funding; competes indirectly with Cabinet Martin by enabling partial DIY approach, complementing rather than fully replacing bespoke advisory.
