Why are directors aged 60+ a signal?

70% of business owners over 60 plan a transmission within 5 years (OSEO/BPI). Without family successor in 60% of cases. Early identification allows approach before public listing.

Difference between cession and closure?

Cession = sale of business to a buyer (activity continues). Closure = permanent end of establishment. BODACC publishes both — we separate by announcement type.

How to verify an announced revenue in a buyout?

Annual accounts filed at the registry are public for most companies (except SME confidentiality opt-in). Cross-reference with DVF sales of the business premises (proxy activity size) and Francis Lefebvre / CRA benchmarks by NAF.
