Eilan Conseil

What Eilan Conseil does

Eilan Conseil is a French privately-held (SASU) consulting and training firm founded in February 2020 by Mael Kerdoncuff and headquartered in Lagord, near La Rochelle. The company serves exclusively the Social and Solidarity Economy (ESS) — associations, cooperatives, foundations, and social enterprises across mainland France and overseas territories — providing customized consulting, Qualiopi-certified training, external audits and diagnostics, individual coaching, collective seminars, and webinars. Its intervention model is explicitly non-transactional ('tuteur/mentor'), designed to build client autonomy rather than create dependency.

The firm operates six core service lines delivered by a multidisciplinary team: customized accompaniments (strategy, RSE/RSO, governance, QVT, quality, health-safety), Qualiopi-certified training (including state-agréed mandatory CSE Health-Safety training for social-center elected officials), audit and diagnostic, individual coaching, collective seminars, and webinars. Alongside services, Eilan is building four proprietary digital properties: SENSASS (a visibility platform for ESS actors), IMPULSION (a territorial training mutualization device for SIAEs), R'ESSOURCES (a resource-sharing space under construction), and VALOR'ESS (an ESS-specialized certification/labeling body under construction).

Commercially, Eilan runs a sales-led, project-based, quote-driven model with no public pricing. Demand is generated through the company website, LinkedIn, ESS sector events, and — most importantly — a dense referral and co-development network with national ESS federations (Chantier Ecole, UNAI, Fédération des Entreprises d'Insertion, COORACE, INAÉ, Réseau Cocagne, UNAPEI, Handéo, TZCLD, Le Mouvement des Régies) and the state-backed DLA framework. Services are delivered either on-site at client locations, at Eilan's Lagord offices, or remotely. Scale signals include 716 trainees trained in 2025, a 9.2/10 average trainee satisfaction score, a 4.9/5 Google rating from 119 reviews, and approximately 600 CSE elected representatives trained since 2020. Ownership remains concentrated with the founder; no external funding, parent company, or M&A activity is reported.
