BODACC - the Bulletin officiel des annonces civiles et commerciales - is the national bulletin that gives legal publicity to the acts recorded in France's registre national des entreprises (RNE). It is edited by the DILA (Direction de l'information légale et administrative), a service of the Prime Minister, and its notices come from the registers kept by the greffes of the commercial courts, the judicial courts, the mixed commercial courts overseas and the other courts that hold company records. By the DILA's own count, BODACC published more than 3.5 million announcements in 2024.
The Annonces commerciales (commercial notices) are split into three editions that appear together under one bulletin number, an eight-digit figure that starts with the year. BODACC A carries ventes et cessions (sales of businesses), immatriculations (new registrations), créations of establishments and procédures collectives (insolvency proceedings), with conciliation and rétablissement professionnel notices. BODACC B carries modifications and radiations (deregistrations). BODACC C carries dépôts des comptes, the notices that a company has filed its annual accounts.
The site also has sections for Rétablissements personnels and Annonces de succession. They concern private individuals, so they stay outside our datasets.
