What Point of sale does

Point de Vente is a Paris-headquartered commercial real estate agency founded in 2010 that advises and transacts across retail premises, investment assets, and rented commercial properties in France. Its core functional scope covers lease transfers (cession de bail), business asset sales (fonds de commerce), pure rentals (location pure), vacant retail walls (murs de boutique libres), occupied retail walls for investors (murs de boutique occupés), and back-premises offices (bureau et local sur cour). Beyond transactions, the firm runs dedicated service lines for investment advisory (Capital Markets), rental management (gestion locative), custom property search (recherche sur-mesure), and acquisition of businesses in judicial liquidation via its LiquidationJudiciaire.com sister platform. Adjacent assets inside Groupe Point de Vente include Immeuble.fr for whole-building sales.

Underlying the agency is a commercial real estate platform anchored by a database of over 40,000 commercial property references and the L'Argus des valeurs locatives, a rental value estimation tool that compares asking rents against the firm's own inventory and is currently scoped to Paris. The platform supports self-service listing discovery, a stored buyer database (which is contacted immediately when matching listings appear), and a client portal (MyPDVEspace) with email alerts. Marketing and distribution are multi-channel: SEO-driven website content, social presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google, an editorial content stream on legal and regulatory topics, and a franchise program for entrepreneurs joining the network beyond Paris.

The firm earns revenue primarily through transaction commissions on the buying, selling, and renting of commercial real estate across retail, restaurant, hospitality, and office sub-segments. It self-positions as N°1 in commercial real estate in Paris, with cited execution of approximately 45 days to sell or rent commercial premises under exclusivity. Customer segments are primarily SMB retail owners (restaurants, bakeries, beauty salons, specialty stores) and individual/institutional investors acquiring commercial premises for yield, alongside property owners using the firm for management. Geographic coverage formally spans Île-de-France, Lyon, Marseille, and Bordeaux. No public funding, ownership, or revenue figures are disclosed; the firm operates as an independent private company.
