LegalPlace has raised €70 million from Move Capital Fund I, XAnge, and Eurazeo, in a deal announced on May 5, 2026, as the Paris-based company moves to acquire competitor Legalstart and deepen its position in France’s business creation and management market.
The funding is set to support the acquisition, continued technology investment, and a broader product roadmap that includes an instant company creation offering and AI agents for accounting and corporate formalities. LegalPlace said both LegalPlace and Legalstart brands will continue to operate following the transaction.
Founded in Paris, LegalPlace provides company creation and management tools spanning administrative, legal, accounting, and financial services. The deal points to further consolidation in the French legal and business services software market, while also giving LegalPlace additional scale as it prepares for expansion across Europe.
