Independent
Your income depends directly on your ability to work and win new business. There is no employer safety net behind you.
A new way to protect entrepreneurs
ELMA is building the safety net for entrepreneurs, independents and business leaders, protecting the person behind the company when professional risk becomes personal. Income continuity, personal responsibility, legal protection and support for what comes next.
The blind spot
You insure the business. You sign the contracts. You carry the responsibility. But if you lose your mandate, your income disappears, a decision is challenged or a personal guarantee is called, you are often left to navigate the consequences alone.
The entrepreneur should not be the company's blind spot.
Who is exposed?
Your income depends directly on your ability to work and win new business. There is no employer safety net behind you.
Your company may be protected, but your income, mandate and personal future are often tied to a single venture.
You can carry significant responsibility while remaining removable from your role, sometimes without salaried protections.
Loans, personal guarantees and invested capital can make company risk a family patrimonial risk.
Leaving employment, selling a company or starting again can mean rebuilding without a clear safety net.
So losing an activity, a mandate or a company does not immediately become a personal financial crisis.
For the moments when decisions, signatures, governance and personal liability extend beyond the company.
Legal guidance, patrimonial vigilance and support to recover, transition and keep moving forward.
How ELMA works
Founder, independent, executive, buyer or business owner: we start with your role, income, mandate, ownership and personal exposure.
ELMA is being designed to identify where company risk could reach your income, responsibility, legal position or personal assets.
The future service will bring together relevant protections, services and trusted support around your situation.
As your company, mandate or career evolves, ELMA will help you understand what is protected and what still needs attention.
One relationship
Today, entrepreneurs must coordinate separate insurers, lawyers, advisers and support networks. ELMA is being designed to bring the essential pieces together around the person leading the company.
One membership. One trusted relationship. One place to turn.

The journey
You leave the protections of salaried employment and begin carrying the risk yourself.
Clients, employees and partners begin to depend on your decisions.
A mandate, governance role or signature increases your personal exposure.
Investments, loans and personal guarantees connect the company to your own financial future.
Loss of activity, removal from a mandate, litigation or company failure can affect more than the business.
ELMA is being designed to help protect your next chapter, not only compensate the previous one.
Our ambition
We want to build the safety net entrepreneurs and business leaders should have had from day one: one that protects income, responsibility and personal exposure, while helping people recover and keep moving forward.
Because taking professional risk should not mean putting your entire personal life at risk.
Founding Circle
ELMA is still being built. We are bringing together independents, founders and business leaders to understand where existing protection fails and shape a service that works in real life.
FAQ
Not yet. ELMA is a pre-launch project. We are currently speaking with independents, founders, business leaders, insurance partners and legal experts to shape the first offer.
ELMA is being designed for people whose professional risk can affect their personal income, responsibility or assets: independents, founders, business owners, executives with a mandate, buyers and entrepreneurs in transition.
No. ELMA is not a health insurer, mutual health plan or employee-benefits platform. Its focus is the personal financial, legal and professional exposure created by entrepreneurship and executive responsibility.
ELMA is being designed as a protection platform working with regulated insurance partners. ELMA's role will be to make the entrepreneur's risks understandable and bring the relevant protections and services into one coordinated experience.
The initial focus is income continuity, executive and personal liability, legal and patrimonial exposure, and support following a professional setback.
Most existing solutions are sold as isolated contracts. ELMA is being designed as a broader safety net, with one relationship and services that remain useful before, during and after a difficult event.
Some protections may be financed by the company, while others will depend on the person's legal status and situation. The final structure is still being developed.
