BIO INVESTIM

What BIO INVESTIM does

Bio Investim, operating commercially as Bio Rentals, is a privately held French société unipersonnelle founded around 2014-2015 and headquartered at 55 avenue Marceau, Paris. The company manages rental real estate assets on behalf of owners and operates a short-stay rental platform for travelers, with a distinct specialization in eco-certified properties. It holds the required French Carte professionnelle Gestion Immobilière issued by CCI Paris, backed by a €110,000 Allianz financial guarantee and professional liability insurance, and operates with €20,000 in share capital and a headcount of 1-10.

The company's core offering combines property management mandates for owners with a curated rental inventory for tenants. Owners can choose from three tiered mandates — Tranquillité, Sécurité, and Liberté — with minimum guaranteed rents starting at €750/month and energy-audit costs partially or fully funded by Bio Rentals as part of renovation works aimed at DPE A/B/C ratings. Bio Rentals also developed self-defined eco-certification sub-brands (Eco-Quartier, Eco-Appart, Eco-Villa) tied to RGE-certified renovation, bio-sourced materials, organic textiles, green electricity, and a per-booking oak-tree planting program. Inventory spans France (Paris, St Tropez, Deauville), Italy (Rome, Tuscany), and Greece (Cyclades islands including Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Crete, Andros, Naxos, Zakynthos, plus Thessaloniki and the Peloponnese), with London also referenced.

Bio Rentals generates revenue from three streams: recurring management fees from owners under subscription-style mandates, transaction-based agency/booking fees on rentals (e.g., €645-€720 per booking on Paris listings), and ancillary concierge services (BIO CLEAN housekeeping, transfers in non-polluting vehicles, organic tasting baskets, excursions). Distribution runs through the proprietary bio-rentals.com website integrated with a Secure Hotel Booking engine, supported by an active channel-partner program recruiting commercial agents in Paris and Southern France. Go-to-market is sales-led on the owner side (Typeform-driven eligibility testing plus agent outreach) and self-serve/marketplace-based on the renter side.
