GB CONSEILS

What GB CONSEILS does

GB Conseils is a Paris-based commercial real estate advisory firm founded in 2010 by Gabriel Boukobza, a former 10-year veteran of the commercial departments at Bourdais and CBRE. The firm specializes in three interconnected activities: rental of commercial premises (location), lease transfer (cession de bail), and the sale of commercial building walls (vente de murs de locaux commerciaux). Its core clients are large private and institutional property owners seeking rental-value determination and optimal tenant targeting, alongside retail brands and franchises requiring store-network development and portfolio arbitrage support.

The firm operates a relationship-driven B2B advisory model with no proprietary technology platform, no AI capabilities, no app, and no digital distribution channels. Its sole product offering is the unified "Conseil en Immobilier Commercial" consulting service. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on individual mandates, with no recurring or subscription component. The team is exceptionally lean — four individuals in total, including the founder, one consultant (Clémence Le Roux, ex-Catella Property and CBRE Agency), one assistant (Gwenaëlle Guillaume, ex-Feau Commercialisation), and a strategic partner from AB Conseils (Alexis Boukobza). The firm is headquartered at 18 Bis Rue D'Anjou in Paris's 8th arrondissement, with a secondary contact address at 29 rue du Colisée managed by Linkeo.

GB Conseils is a privately held, founder-owned company with no institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no parent company. Historical revenue (per French legal filings) peaked at €2.9M in 2016 before declining to €2.05M in 2017; no post-2017 financial data is publicly disclosed. The firm's go-to-market is entirely direct and referral-based, and its competitive positioning rests on the founder's industry rolodex and the team's combined pedigree at major Paris commercial real estate intermediaries.
