Rent that weighs heavily
When rent exceeds 10% of turnover, there is no room left for unpaid invoices or lost hours. Invoices that go out by themselves, reminders, weekly figures: you know where you stand.

What matters for a business in Marseille
A city centre to win back
With one shop unit in five empty in the city centre, every business that holds on needs to be easy to find: an up-to-date Google profile, recent reviews, online booking.
An international clientele too
In summer 2025, around 30% of tourist customers came from abroad. An assistant that answers at any hour avoids losing the enquiries that arrive outside your opening times.

Frequently asked questions
Do you come to Marseille?
Yes. The first meeting takes place at your premises or by video call, as you prefer, and the immersion happens on site, from the Old Port to the northern and southern districts.
Do you have an office in Marseille?
No: we come to you. The rest of the work is done remotely, with the same person from start to finish.
Is there any support for going digital in Marseille?
Région Sud's Move2Digital programme funds a digital audit for SMEs, and the Aix-Marseille-Provence Chamber of Commerce supports businesses with digital tools. Check their current terms with them.
Are you an AI expert for small businesses in Marseille?
Yes. We put AI where it saves you time: answering customers, sorting emails, an assistant on your website, preparing quotes. You stay in control of everything it does.
Why a consultant rather than quote and invoicing software?
Software only does what you tell it to. We start from your day, choose the tools and connect them: the signed quote becomes the invoice, then the reminder if it goes unpaid, with no re-keying.
How long does the assessment take?
Twenty minutes, with no commitment, on site in Marseille or by video call. We look at your day and tell you what can run by itself, and what isn't worth it.
Do I need to change my software?
No. We start from the tools you already use when they work, and everything we set up stays in your name.
