We have just started a new section on 1st for French Property: French Businesses for Sale
We often get asked - “how can we move to France but also earn an income?” “We love France but we cannot afford to retire yet - have you any suggestions?”
So in the new Business section we have commercial business such as bars and hotels.
We also have Gites / B&Bs that up & running plus properties that have the potential to be converted. There has been a growing demand this year for Land - so that properties can be built and sold for good profits.
Finally, a big favourite - Lakes! We are suprised by the number of enquiries we get for setting up fishing businesses.
Fancy moving to France but need income? Buy a business! Currently we have over 600 business opportunities on the website.
