Pharma Cession Conseil

What Pharma Cession Conseil does

Pharma Cession Conseil SAS is a French private advisory firm founded in 2010 by Hugues Spriet, specializing exclusively in the sale and acquisition of community pharmacy businesses (officines). The firm operates from registered offices in Lambersart and Marcq-en-Baroeul (Hauts-de-France), with a regional office in Cluny serving the Rhône-Alpes and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté markets, and active coverage extending to Normandie. It maintains a catalog of 169+ pharmacy listings across multiple French regions, with turnovers ranging from under €500,000 to over €2,000,000 per listing.

The core service is end-to-end transaction advisory, encompassing valuation, buyer-seller matchmaking, transaction structuring, regulatory compliance support, and confidentiality management, delivered by a small team of named experts (Hugues Spriet, Jean-Philippe Weiss, Martin Spriet). Distribution is direct: regional experts engage clients personally via phone, email, and in-person meetings, supplemented by LinkedIn and Facebook presence, BFM Business media coverage, and organized installation events in partnership with FCC.

The firm is bootstrapped and founder-owned with €100,000 registered capital, registered with RCS Lille Métropole (929 883 858), and recognized via the Prix Interfimo 2024. Revenue is generated on a professional services basis through transaction facilitation fees, with pricing handled case-by-case rather than through disclosed schedules. The customer base consists entirely of SMB pharmacist buyers and sellers, with no enterprise or institutional accounts.
