CCI Dordogne

What CCI Dordogne does

CCI Dordogne (Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie de la Dordogne) is a French public administrative institution (établissement public administratif) operating under the national Chamber of Commerce and Industry network coordinated by CCI France. It delivers economic development, business creation, business transmission, and administrative formality services to entrepreneurs, SMBs, and business owners across the Dordogne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The institution serves as the local public-service interface for business lifecycle support, from initial creation through growth, succession, and transfer, and also operates higher education and continuing training assets through its Ecole de Savignac and INISUP Dordogne sub-brands.

The service catalog is organized around four pillars: creation d'entreprise (workshops such as Matinées de la création and Ateliers du créateur, the Formation création entreprise training program, and Les cafés de la création in partnership with Crédit Agricole), reprise/transmission (including the Transentreprise marketplace for business sales and acquisitions), développement (retail and hospitality consulting via OOMARKET Retail and OOMARKET Retail+, performance diagnostics, financing access, digital transformation through Les défis numériques, international formalities, and sustainability certifications such as Ecolabel Clef Verte and Décret tertiaire compliance), and formalités (administrative procedures, international trade documentation, and ambulating merchant cards). Service delivery is conducted across three territorial poles in Coulounieix-Chamiers (headquarters), Bergerac, and Sarlat, with phone, email, and online channels supplementing in-person advisory.

CCI Dordogne's revenue model is structurally distinct from a commercial enterprise: it is funded primarily through the mandatory CFE (Cotisation Foncière des Entreprises) levy paid by businesses operating in Dordogne, supplemented by government and regional council funding, with services provided largely free of direct charge to users as part of its public economic-development mandate. The institution does not pursue commercial pricing for its core advisory offering, although certain paid training programs and consulting engagements (e.g., OOMARKET, audit buraliste) generate fee income. It has no venture funding, no M&A activity, no proprietary technology platform beyond the Transentreprise marketplace reference, and operates under a regulatory framework that anchors it within the CCI France national network.

Broad incumbents

• Business France: National agency supporting French companies' international development and attracting foreign investment. CCI Dordogne's 'Ouvrez et développez votre entreprise à l'international' and 'Formalités internationales' services overlap directly with Business France's export-support mandate, making it a partial functional peer in international business services.
• CCI France (Réseau des CCI): National federation of French Chambers of Commerce and Industry. CCI Dordogne is a direct member/affiliate of this national network, which sets policy, coordinates digital infrastructure, and represents the CCI system to the French government. Most directly comparable as the umbrella for the same operational model.
• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): French national employment agency. Listed as a CCI Dordogne partner in the Défis Cap'inno competition and increasingly engaged in business creation support for job-seekers becoming entrepreneurs. Comparable as a public-sector institution providing adjacent (employment-to-entrepreneurship) services to the same population.
• Bpifrance: French public investment bank providing SME financing, guarantees, and innovation support. Operates as a complementary rather than competing institution to CCIs, but increasingly overlaps with CCI advisory and financing-referral services as it digitizes direct SME engagement. Comparable as a public-sector SME development institution.

Direct peers

• ADIE (Association pour le Droit à l'Initiative Économique): National association providing microcredit and business creation support to entrepreneurs excluded from traditional financing. Active in Dordogne via partnership channels and serves the same nascent entrepreneur segment that CCI Dordogne's 'Matinées de la création' and 'Ateliers du créateur' target — directly comparable as a parallel public-interest microenterprise support network.
• Initiative France: National federation of local Initiative platforms providing zero-interest loans and mentoring to business creators. Initiative Périgord is directly referenced as a CCI Dordogne partner; comparable as a parallel public-interest business creation and financing network operating in the same territory with similar target beneficiaries.
• CCI Bordeaux Gironde: Largest departmental CCI in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, serving the Bordeaux metropolitan area. Operates the same business-creation, transmission, training, and formalities model as CCI Dordogne but at much larger scale in a more dynamic economic territory — the most direct functional peer for benchmarking service model and operational practice.
• CMA Nouvelle-Aquitaine (Chambre de Métiers et de l'Artisanat): Regional Chamber of Trades and Crafts covering the same territory. Provides overlapping business creation, training, and formalities services to artisans and small craft businesses, with mandates that intersect CCI Dordogne's small-business and retail support services — the closest functional peer in the French public business-support ecosystem.
• Réseau Entreprendre: National network of business leaders providing mentoring, financing, and peer support to entrepreneurs creating or acquiring businesses. Operates locally in Dordogne in parallel to CCI, serving overlapping entrepreneur segments with comparable lifecycle-stage business creation and transmission support.

Regional players

• CCI Nouvelle-Aquitaine: Regional chamber federation covering the same Nouvelle-Aquitaine region as CCI Dordogne. Provides regional coordination, shared services, and aggregated data for departmental chambers including CCI Dordogne — directly comparable as the regional layer of the same institutional system.
