Vivaservices

Vivaservices is a French national network of personal home-service agencies. Its services include housekeeping, ironing, gardening, DIY, childcare, and assistance for seniors and people with disabilities. Carers are employed by the agencies, recruited and trained by the network, and assessed through practical exercises. In some communes it also offers services under the mandataire model.

Customers are private households who order services through local agencies. Clients can use the instant tax credit on most services, so they pay 50% of the invoice upfront, and the network also accepts CESU vouchers and public aid such as PAJE, APA and PCH. The network also offers agency franchises to entrepreneurs.

Vivaservices was founded in 2007 by two childhood friends and is headquartered in Vienne. The network reports more than 80 agencies across France, over 1,800 employees, and coverage of more than 25,000 communes. Agencies are listed in Clermont-Ferrand, Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Tours, Perpignan and Vienne. The company is currently recruiting carers.
