BODACC – French Company Creations, Insolvencies & Sales

Every BODACC legal announcement, the official bulletin of French company life (about 15,000 a day), cleaned and structured:

• Company creations and registrations: new companies and sole traders with activity, legal form, capital, management and start date.
• Business sales: who bought what, the sale price, the seller, and where to file oppositions.
• Insolvency proceedings: liquidations, receiverships, safeguards, plans, closures and sanctions. Each comes with the liquidator or court-appointed representative, the date payments stopped and the deadline for creditor claims.
• Modifications, deregistrations and accounts filings.
• Alerts and watchlists: schedule it and get only new announcements. Filter by SIREN to monitor customers and suppliers, or by department and activity for new leads.
• Statistics: counts by announcement type, insolvency judgment, department, region, court or month.

$1 per 1,000 announcements.

Good to know

• Source: BODACC open data (DILA), Licence Ouverte / Etalab 2.0, updated with each issue (every working day). Bulletin A covers sales, creations and insolvencies, B covers modifications and deregistrations, C covers accounts filings.
• Period: when no date, company or SIREN is given, searches cover the last 30 days (statistics: the last 365 days).
• Practitioners, payment-stop dates and claim deadlines are read from the judgment text. Practitioners are found for about 99% of opened proceedings. The claims deadline is the usual two months from publication, when the announcement says so.
• Personal data: announcements about sole traders include their names, as published in the official bulletin. Process them in line with the GDPR, for example by not using them for unsolicited marketing to individuals without a legal basis.
• Insolvency statistics count announcements, not companies: one proceeding usually leads to several announcements over time.
