In accordance with the Doubin Law (art. L330-3, R330-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code), the Local Market State is a key element for any franchise, associated trade, commission-affiliation or brand licensing project.
A quality ELM reflects your professionalism and reinforces the confidence of your candidates. It is a strategic showcase for the development of your network.

Our Local Market States
A regulatory requirement for your network
The DIP, required by the Doubin Law, applies to all types of organized commerce under contract and under brand name (franchising, commission-affiliation, associated commerce, brand licensing, etc.), whenever a commitment to exclusivity or quasi-exclusivity is required in return. The purpose of this document is to provide your candidates with precise information before any contractual commitment is made.
The Fédération Française de la Franchise (FFF) and the Fédération du Commerce Coopératif Associé (FCA) are the main bodies representing franchisors and franchisees on the one hand, and central organizations and members on the other.
Remember to respect the legal deadline: You must send the DIP at least 20 days before signing the contract. This deadline can be extended to give your candidates time to analyze the information provided.
ELM EDITED TO ORDER OR ON DEMAND
- Opt for an ELM to order for an in-depth analysis, adapted to your brand and its identity, and taking into account direct and indirect competition. You set the delivery date with the project manager, leaving yourself a few days for proofreading and integration into the DIP.
- Choose the ELM on demand option via our EasyRetail tool (www.easyretail.fr) to edit your own ELMs with complete autonomy.
- Use GEO Business to build your own ELM by exploiting reliable, up-to-date data, and exporting usable reports to the DIP.
