General Market Conditions (GMC)
For your Pre-contractual Information Documents
Within the framework of the Doubin Law and the Pre-contractual Information Document (DIP) (articles L330-3, R-330-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code), inform your candidates with an in-depth analysis of the market and development prospects for the products and services covered by your contract, throughout France.
Whether you have a project for franchising, associated trade, commission-affiliation, brand licensing, etc., the EGM is a key element for future candidates, offering them an in-depth analysis of the viability and potential of the project on the global market, integrating the influences of national factors on the business sector.
Our Market Meetings
A legal obligation and a strategic asset
Article L330-3 and its implementing decree of April 4, 1991 require all forms of contractually-organized and branded commerce (franchising, commission-affiliation, associated commerce, brand licensing, etc.) to provide an EGM in the event of an exclusivity or quasi-exclusivity commitment.
Before signing any contract, a complete DIP, including an updated EGM, must be given to the candidate. You must respect the legal deadline of 20 days. This minimum period may be extended to allow for better assimilation of information.
The main bodies governing the sector :
- Fédération Française de la Franchise (FFF): representing franchisors and franchisees.
- Fédération du Commerce Coopératif et Associé (FCA): representing the central organizations and members.
EGM: A LEGAL OBLIGATION FOR FRANCHISORS
In addition to the ELM (Etat Local de Marché), the EGM is an in-depth national study that must be integrated into the DIP. It includes :
- Key figures for the sector,
- Consumer profile,
- The main players and competitors,
- Market trends and opportunities,
- Regulatory constraints,
- The various existing concepts.
Beware of generic studies! We provide a tailor-made analysis, adapted to your business and your territory.

For a French or international EGM, we have access to the most complete, recent and reliable data at the time the document is produced. As standard, our study includes an in-depth update of the document, which must be carried out every 12 to 18 months to ensure the best possible information and to comply with legal obligations.
