On the 24th the Court needs to have all offers together with a short business plan. No cash changes hands at this stage.

The shop in Av Montaigne is under offer already (E3.7M) and should be replaced with something a quarter of the size in Av Faubourg St Honore or the Left Bank. Happily most of the labour that is left are all crafts people who do an amazing job. The useless CFO has already left and there is no marketing director either. THe CEO Yves Alain Petitjean is unimpressive. He claims he has had his back against the wall since he started 18 months ago due to inadequate funding. This is partly true, though I don't think he gets this market or its potential. With a proper team in place, I believe this can be managed. In the first instance very little cash has to be put up. It is more about commitment to retain the employee levels that concern the French Court more than anything else. Ironically, the market for this product line (the super rich) are getting richer. It has been poorly managed and hopelessly marketed for ten years. I believe it could be turned round within 2 years. Cash required to purchase and run it for this period would be less than 7.5M Euros. EFTA00935068
