What Les déménageurs bretons does

Les déménageurs bretons is a French national moving services network that has operated for over 50 years (founded circa 1970) and is structured as a franchise system of 150+ independently owned agencies distributed across all of France. The legal entity operating the network is ELIF SARL, a privately held French SARL headquartered in Beauchamp (Val-d'Oise). The company serves primarily individual residential customers — families, seniors, students, and general consumers — and secondarily corporate/employee relocations. Service delivery is asset-heavy and labor-intensive: franchisees conduct on-site technical visits, execute packing, loading, transport, and delivery, and provide complementary storage (garde-meubles) through agency facilities.

The service portfolio is organized into six tiers defined by the degree of professional involvement: P'tit dem (from €300, 15% professional), Mobilier (from €500, furniture handling only), Economique (from €700, 60% professional), Classique (from €900, 70% professional), Major (from €1,100, 90% professional), and Privilège (from €3,000, 100% turnkey). The network is AFNOR NF Services certified for residential moving and was voted 'La marque préférée des Français' in the moving category. The company extends into international moving (demenageurs-bretons.com) and corporate transfers (transfert-activite.fr) through separate platforms. There is no proprietary technology platform; infrastructure consists of standard business software, with digital marketing managed by partner agency Axess Adcom (Google Partner Premier).

The business model is asset-light at the franchisor level. ELIF SARL captures revenue from franchise fees, brand licensing, and shared marketing contributions, while franchisees retain the direct customer relationship and bear operating costs. Pricing is per-move, pay-as-you-go, with no disclosed subscription or recurring contract structure. Distribution is omnichannel: a digital-first website with extensive SEO content (city/region pages covering all of France), phone-based inside sales (09 70 33 00 00), field sales through franchisee agencies, and a partnership with Papernest for ancillary contract-transfer services. The company reports over 50,000 moves per year and is led by Cédric Courtieu (Directeur de la publication).

Revenue model

1. Moving services (one-time fees): Revenue is generated primarily through one-time fees charged for moving services across multiple service tiers (P'tit dem, Economique, Classique, Major, Privilège, and Mobilier). Each tier represents a different level of service ranging from self-managed (P'tit dem, customer does 85% of work) to fully managed (Privilège, professionals handle 100%). Prices range from 300 € (P'tit dem) to 3,000 € (Privilège), with additional options available.
2. Garde-meubles (Storage services): The company offers complementary storage solutions (garde-meubles) through its network of agencies. Revenue from storage services provides recurring income alongside one-time moving fees.
