Welcome on the site of The French National Federation of Commercial Agents

The French National Federation of Commercial Agents has been created in Eighteen Ninety Eight and has taken care of the interests of the French Commercial Agents for one hundred and ten years…

It has a real representativeness at the national level thanks to its eleven regional professional chambers: each chamber is adapted to its environment and constitutes an effective network, offering services of proximity to commercial agents and an incomparable quality of listening.

The head offices of the French Federation are located in Paris, avenue de l’Opéra in the « House of the Commercial Agent » which shelter our subsidiary press company(the Editions of the Commercial Agent), the Parisian Chamber of the Commercial Agents and the Association of Accountancy of the Commercial Agents.

The French National Federation has as main goals the defence of the French Commercial Agent’s status in an European and world context and the improvment of the performances of its members’ agencies in particular and all the French commercial agents in general.

In order to do so, the French Federation and its regional chambers use the services of renowned legal, tax and accounting consultants and are a crossroads of information, initiatives and meetings for the Commercial Agents. 

The French Federation has deeply relooked since one year its own professional newspaper, L’Agent Commercial  which is published every month except in july and august.

We have a website which has a reserved space for our members but also a large space open to all visitors: this site records around eight thousands visits per month, particularly the classified ads’ pages. In the next weeks we will put online a new issue of our website with English pages and particularly an English version of the French Code of Commerce about Commercial agents but also a translation of our model of agency contract in English, German, Italian and Spanish. This website will have a paybox system for online payment of contributions, classified ads and other purchases

We are also very concerned by the quality of the profession: a few years ago we have implemented the Certification of the Commercial Agencies and training sessions but we now develop several on-line learning and proactive educational programs for commercial agents.

The French National Federation is a IUCAB founder member but also in France a founder member of the National Union of the Liberal Professions and it is member of the National Federation of Small and Medium-Sized Businesses too.

This year, on twenty seventh of June, we organised in Paris the National day of the Commercial Agents which was a memorable event for our profession and a moment of personal exchanges. There were speakers, debates and workshops to informe futur agents and economic actors about the profession of Commercial Agents. It allowed also meetings between principals and agents within all economical sectors. These facilitated certainly partnerships and develop business projects.
