The hidden transmission market

70% of transmissions happen without a public listing (source BPI / CCI IDF). In 2023, only 37,000 businesses were transmitted out of 185,000 potentially transferable. The figures above are public department-level facts: they size the pool, not the targets — those are identified case by case.

Finding a target: Charente and its influence areas

The NTYB app ranks buyout opportunities by influence area, with output deliberately quantized to 5 levels. For live listings, also check CessionPME, CCI/CMA marketplaces and Transentreprise.

FAQ

Why is the share of owners aged 60+ a signal?
70% of business owners over 60 consider a transmission within 5 years (OSEO/BPI study), with no family succession in 60% of cases. A high departmental share signals an above-average pool of upcoming transmissions.
Do the BODACC figures cover only dry cleaners?
No: closure, strike-off and goodwill-sale volumes are aggregated across all activities at department level (BODACC does not publish the trade code). The active-establishment stock, however, is filtered on the trade via SIRENE.
How to go from a departmental fact to a real target?
Cross-reference live listings (CessionPME, CCI marketplaces), public signals by influence area (NTYB app) and direct outreach: most transmissions close off-market, through direct contact with the seller.
