Legalplace acquires Legalstart

LegalPlace acquires Legalstart to build the leader in company creation and management

Founded in 2016 by Racem Flazi, Mehdi Ouchallal, and Samuel Goldstein, LegalPlace has become the reference platform for company creation and management in France. The company announces a major fundraise of €70 million from Move Capital fund I, XAnge, and Eurazeo, to finance the strategic acquisition of its historic competitor Legalstart and continue its technological investments.

By joining forces, LegalPlace and Legalstart create the largest player in the sector, combining Legalstart's historic strength in company creation with LegalPlace's robust accounting ecosystem and integrated professional account and business domiciliation solutions. Both entities will retain their own identities and continue to coexist, capitalising on the trust and brand recognition built with their respective communities.

Driven by 60% annual growth over three years and a solid base of 50,000 subscribers, LegalPlace is now targeting revenues exceeding €100 million as early as 2026. The funds raised will accelerate technological innovation, including the imminent launch of an instant company creation product, and prepare for a European-scale deployment. At the heart of this acceleration: the construction of an AI agent capable of handling both accounting and corporate formalities, drawing on a complete and continuous understanding of each client's context.
