Editor's note It would be interesting to have the net margin, which must be considerable because the company's "work" consists of convincing a client, describing a project on a web page, recovering the capital and passing it on to the project developer.
Moreover, it is not the amount of capital collected (20.7 M€) that is interesting but the gross margin, i.e. the amount that remunerates the platform and constitutes its turnover. Here again, nothing is published.
