Survey of retail networks

The aim of the survey is to estimate the number of enterprises and the business activity of independent businesses organised into a network.

The survey follows on from the pilot surveys conducted in the clothing sector (in 1995), home-improvement (in 1997) and a survey of "chain store network heads" carried out in the year 2000 throughout the entire retail sector.

It constitutes the first stage, begun in January 2006 and continued in 2007, of the continuous monitoring operation for trade networks. This monitoring involved the creation and compilation of a database listing the main networks and the associated network head.
