# What is Reavo?

> Reavo is a B2B prospecting tool for freelancers, small businesses and SMEs in France: describe your customers in one sentence, Reavo finds the companies, checks each one against the official business register, finds who to write to and drafts a personalised email for each; on the Pro and Growth plans, it sends them and follows up from a dedicated sending mailbox.

## The facts

- **What it is**: Online B2B prospecting software, all in one: it finds the companies, finds who to write to, writes the emails and, on Pro and Growth, sends them.
- **Who it is for**: Freelancers, craftspeople, small businesses, SMEs and small agencies that need customers without having a sales team.
- **Companies found**: In France only, each one checked against the official French business register.
- **Pricing**: Solo €29 (150 companies), Pro €99 (400 companies), Growth €199 (1,000 companies) per month excl. VAT, no commitment; a first list of 30 companies free at sign-up, no credit card.
- **Sending**: On Pro and Growth, from a dedicated sending mailbox that Reavo provides, on a Reavo sending domain: your own address is never exposed. On Solo, the emails are ready to copy.
- **Language**: App in English or French; emails written in French.
- **Data**: The official business register and public professional data (company websites). Hosted in the European Union.

## How it works

1. **You describe your customers in one sentence.** "Custom aluminium joinery in the Rhône", "accounting firms in Nantes". Reavo understands the request, even a very specific one, and estimates in under a minute how many companies match, from the official register.
2. **Reavo finds and checks the companies.** It searches the web, checks each company against the official register (SIREN number, active status, address, directors), reads its website and judges it against your request, with the reason shown. Closed, off-target or out-of-area companies are set aside and cost nothing. Allow about 8 minutes for 40 companies.
3. **Reavo finds who to write to.** For each company, its contact address. On Pro and Growth, 2 to 3 decision-makers when Reavo finds them, with their address when it exists. An address is marked verified when it was read at its source; Reavo never writes to a merely inferred address.
4. **Reavo drafts an email for each one.** A personalised email of 90 to 150 words, built on a recent fact about the company, with one question at most and an opt-out sentence. You review every email before it leaves.
5. **On Pro and Growth, Reavo sends and follows up.** Approved emails leave from your dedicated sending mailbox at a human pace, Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm by default. If you turn on automatic follow-up, Reavo follows up once, three business days later, with prospects who have not replied; you can read, edit or cancel each follow-up before it leaves. Replies arrive in the built-in inbox.

## What sets Reavo apart

- **The whole way, from one sentence**: People often stitch together a contact database, a tool to find addresses and a sending tool, each with its own settings. Reavo does the whole chain: find, check, write, send, follow up.
- **Small French companies too**: The official register and a read of each company's website bring up the local shops, craftspeople, firms and SMEs, including those with no LinkedIn page.
- **Sending without risking your address**: Emails leave from a dedicated mailbox, usually ready within 24 to 48 hours, which ramps up gradually. Your own domain and its reputation stay safe.
- **Built for people who are not salespeople**: No filters to master, no sequences to set up, no jargon: you describe who you are looking for and you review.
- **You pay for results**: 1 credit = 1 company kept in a list, with an address to write to. Companies set aside and those without an address cost nothing.

## What Reavo does not do

- Reavo does not search for companies outside France today.
- Reavo prospects by email: it does no LinkedIn prospecting and makes no phone calls.
- Reavo looks for companies, not consumers.
- On Solo and during the free first list, Reavo does not send the emails: they are ready to copy.
- Reavo promises no number of meetings: it prepares and sends emails you have approved.
- Reavo does not sell contact files: each list is searched for your request.

See: [Pricing](https://www.reavo.co/en/pricing.md)

### Does Reavo find companies outside France?

Not today. Reavo looks for companies located in France and checks each one against the official French business register.

### Do I need a mailbox or a domain name to send?

No. On Pro and Growth, Reavo provides a dedicated sending mailbox on a Reavo sending domain, usually ready within 24 to 48 hours. Your own domain is never exposed.

### Is Reavo GDPR compliant?

Reavo's data comes from the business register, published professional sources and, when no address is published, a specialised provider that finds and verifies it. Every email includes an opt-out sentence; a prospect who asks not to be contacted is blocked for you, and a person who asks Reavo is removed from its database. The origin of the contact details is stated in the privacy policy and given on request, and the database is hosted in the European Union. You approve every first email before it leaves.

See: [Are you allowed to send this email? (in French)](https://www.reavo.co/outils/prospection-rgpd.md)

### How long does a first list take?

A few seconds for the market estimate, about 8 minutes for 40 checked companies with who to write to, about 45 minutes for 300, then a few minutes for the list's emails.

### How is Reavo different from Lemlist, Waalaxy or Apollo?

Lemlist and Instantly send campaigns to contacts you bring or look up yourself, Waalaxy prospects on LinkedIn, Apollo and Kaspr give access to contact databases. Reavo starts from your sentence and goes all the way to sending, for companies in France.
