Sta Groupe acquired by Freelance.com

Freelance.com acquire STA Groupe, a key reference in the French umbrella company sector. The operation is strategically timed following the acquisition of OpenWork, effectively propelling the combined group beyond the symbolic €1 billion revenue milestone within just three years of doubling its previous scale. The strategic rationale for the deal is rooted in the high complementarity between STA’s specialized IT and strategy consultant pool and Freelance.com’s extensive corporate client base. By integrating STA’s full-digital SaaS platform and its 40% year-over-year growth momentum, the acquirer significantly enhances its operational efficiency and service range for high-demand skills such as interim management and business expertise. The partnership is designed to ensure the long-term sustainability of the target’s model while leveraging the acquirer’s vast industrial resources to facilitate international scaling. This merger marks a major phase in the professionalization of the freelance economy, creating a powerhouse with nearly 15,000 active consultants.

By taking control of Sta Groupe, Freelance.com continues its expansion strategy. Previously, the group had completed 2 acquisitions, including Openwork in 2023.
