Thus it is not one who makes the decisions

Alexandra Bouthelier, Delegate General of the CFA.

"Accept", the master-word assignment

In the groups, assignors of business are generally entered quarantine and are now in the age from retired, 20 to 25 years after. There is as well as the number of transmissions in the groups is less than 10-20 to the forecast of 3 to 4 years. The timeline shortens and the desire to "hang up" is not necessarily there. The transferor contractor must agree to play another role in society. He certainly survived a status or recognition to the social level, but there will be around other people. It will resume being someone else.

How rebirth through the transmission of business

This can take place in stages. For example, some members of the group play the role of sponsors, on bail of the buyer on their own property. This system is already in force for the creation of point of sale in system U as well as Leclerc and will be soon developed in Atol. It is the mind of a community, shared by groupings: what is received, it must forward it to another. The assignor plays an advisory role. Thus, it is not one who makes the decisions. In this case, it must not remain active in the life of the network through the Board of Directors.

Other solutions by steps

The family transmission, which is the practice in 20 of cases. The assignor holds the assignment in delegating the daily to his children and building more than development. This is the case of Guy Leclerc, President of the CFA, which creates models of management within a group, and whose two sons manage points of sale of the family holding company by exploiting their specialty: marketing and finance. Each has found its place. It is also the force of the groups to offer several professional lives in same trade: point of sale Manager, responsible for purchases at the breast of the cooperative or Chairman of the Board of Directors. In groups, decline of family transmissions can be explained by the fact that the children have experienced the strong involvement of parents, who were not counted their schedules for 10 to 20 years. But it is common that children of contractors in group have a first professional life before return, 5 or 6 years after, working in the family business. As if the "virus" of associated trade had never passed away them.

And to give to employees

It is transmitted to someone we know or that it has formed, and who perpetuates that self began. The grantors are often the products, which started from scratch. They relive through the buyer what themselves lived. In addition, there is a good acceptance on the part of employees who live this event as a recognition of one of them. There is a rise of this type of transmission, facilitated by the mode of funding of the groups. Associated trade, one-third of the creators or to purchasers already are former employees of the group or the point of sale, while they were only a quarter only a few years ago.

How to accompany the transfer

The groups have a pragmatic, rational and practical role. They dépassionnent the situation by adopting a neutral and objective position. In particular, in the estimation of the cost of the recovery. The assignment must occur at a fair price: neither too expensive for the buyer is not found in financial difficulty and thus undermines the entire network. or less expensive, because it will know and will impair the credibility of the group. The performance of a network exists and continues through the work and collaboration of hundreds of entrepreneurs. Processes have been implemented by groups to protect themselves from the goodwill of an assignment. The transferor is often to heart that his case continues to exist after him.
