Market position
StarOfService is a local-services marketplace operated by StarOfService SAS in Paris, covering home trades alongside weddings, events, wellness and lessons, with sister sites in Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland and the UK. It says more than 180,000 professionals are listed in France. Its terms, updated 31 March 2026, describe subscription plans priced by service category plus a monthly service fee, rather than pay-per-lead.
France-specific note
A generalist marketplace, so building work competes for attention with many other categories. Read the terms before you sign: besides the subscription, StarOfService charges a €59 HT monthly service fee and a €49 yearly visibility fee, plans renew automatically, and cancelling needs 15 days' notice and costs 15 USD.

Why this matters for France trades
Since 1 September 2026 every French business must be able to receive B2B e-invoices through a plateforme agréée registered by the State (CGI art. 289 bis), and PME, TPE and micro-entreprises must issue them by 1 September 2027; DGFiP says no sanctions apply in 2026 while businesses adapt. Assurance décennale (Loi Spinetta) must be in place before work starts, and building without it is punishable by 6 months’ imprisonment and/or a 75,000 euro fine, per service-public.fr. TVA on building work on homes is 20% standard, 10% for improvement, transformation, fitting-out and maintenance, and 5.5% for energy renovation, with the reduced rates only for dwellings completed more than two years ago. Clients can only claim MaPrimeRénov’, the éco-PTZ or CEE bonuses if the work is done by an RGE professional. Businesses register through the Guichet des formalités des entreprises, with the CMA advising artisans, and regulated building trades must be carried out or controlled by a qualified person (CAP, BEP or BP, an equivalent RNCP title, or three years’ experience).
French artisan (bâtiment) vendor selection is shaped by facturation électronique (every business must be able to receive e-invoices through a plateforme agréée since 1 September 2026, and PME, TPE and micro-entreprises must issue them by 1 September 2027), compulsory assurance décennale taken out before work starts, multi-rate TVA (20%, 10% and 5.5%), the RGE label that homeowner clients need to claim energy-renovation aid, and the micro-entrepreneur regime with its turnover ceilings and VAT franchise.
