About Onliz

Onliz, established in 2022, operates as a B2B digital marketplace specializing in professional equipment leasing for the French market. The company, founded by Gilles Torrillon, is headquartered in Saint-Etienne, France. Torrillon also serves as the CEO of LOCAM, a financing company, and has a background with Crédit Agricole, indicating deep experience in the financial and leasing sectors which directly relates to Onliz's business model.

The firm's core business revolves around an "Equipment as a Service" model, providing an alternative to outright purchasing for its clients. This is facilitated through a fully online platform where businesses can lease a comprehensive range of professional equipment. The business generates revenue through an intermediary service, connecting professional suppliers, business clients, and a financing company (LOCAM) for leasing operations. Clients pay an all-inclusive monthly fee that covers the equipment rental, maintenance, and associated services over a long-term period, preserving their cash flow.

Onliz targets a wide array of professional clients, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), independent professionals, local businesses, and associations. The platform's product offerings are extensive, spanning eight main categories: IT, multimedia, telephony, furniture, automatic dispensers, payment and cashing systems, hygiene, security, and printing equipment. A key aspect of its service is the partnership with selected French suppliers to ensure product and service quality. The platform simplifies the equipment acquisition process, allowing businesses to procure necessary tools through a few clicks. Just six months after its launch, the company secured €11.5 million in funding from Crédit Agricole Loire Haute-Loire and Locam, which has supported its growth and the expansion of its supplier network and equipment offerings.
