How does it work?
- Enter a town, a postcode or a département.
- Add a sector to narrow it down (restaurants, hairdressers…).
- Read the 10 most recent sales: buyer, SIREN and publication date.
Why are business sales public?
In France, the sale of a business (fonds de commerce) must be published in the BODACC so the seller's creditors can object. The notice gives the buyer, the activity, the business address and the date.
What data do you get?
The tool returns one row per published sale.

What does it return on a real area?
In the Rhône département (Lyon), 137 business sales are dated between 1 October and 12 November 2026, including those of ALERYS PARTNERS and CONNEXIA RT, published on 12 November (retrieved on 12 November 2026 from Reachable's public API).
What are the limits?
Sales are sorted by the buyer's head-office town, not the business address. The sale price is not shown. Sole-trader buyers are not named. Result labels are in French.
How can you go further?
For companies in difficulty, see French insolvency proceedings. To follow these companies over time, add them to a Reachable list: the check reruns daily, weekly or monthly, and you are notified when something changes. Your AI assistant can drive the list through the MCP server. Source details are on the sources page; the price of a scheduled check is on the pricing page.
