Official statistics: 462,645 businesses in France according to Eurostat, structural business statistics (sbs_ovw_act) (reference year 2024, data as of 30 September 2026). Divisions 69 legal and accounting activities (110,438), 70 head offices and management consultancy (326,241) and 73 advertising and market research (25,966) combined. This is the size of the market, not the size of our database.
Start with the profession you are targeting (law, accountancy, consulting or advertising), then the area, by département or region. Making the website a required field lets you check each firm’s specialism afterwards.
Our records do not yet carry a NAF code: selecting by activity (NAF subclass) will only be possible for records matched with the Sirene database (matching in progress). The quote states what can be done today: area and required fields.
The official figure shown for this sector adds up three divisions and includes the head offices in sub-class 70.10Z. It measures neither the number of consultancies nor the number of professionals registered with a professional body.
Price of the whole industry: €449. A selection by region, sub-industry or required fields is quoted individually; the whole-industry price is not a price promise for the filtered selection.

The sector combines three divisions of NAF rév. 2: legal and accounting activities (69), head offices and management consultancy (70), and advertising and market research (73). According to the INSEE notes, sub-class 69.10Z also covers notaries and bailiffs, and sub-class 69.20Z covers approved management centres (centres de gestion agréés).
Division 70 needs care: sub-class 70.10Z groups the head offices of corporate groups and the management of subsidiaries, which are not consultancies. To target consultants, use 70.21Z and 70.22Z instead. Architectural and engineering consultancy is under Architects and engineering offices, executive search and placement under Temporary work and recruitment.
| NAF rév. 2 | Official INSEE title | What the code covers |
|---|---|---|
| 69.10Z | Legal activities | lawyers, notaries, bailiffs; drafting of deeds and legal advice |
| 69.20Z | Accounting, bookkeeping and auditing activities; tax consultancy | accountancy, audit, tax returns, approved management centres |
| 70.10Z | Activities of head offices | group head offices and management of subsidiaries: often excluded |
| 70.21Z | Public relations and communication activities | PR and communication agencies |
| 70.22Z | Business and other management consultancy activities | organisation, planning, management control |

| 73.12Z | Media representation | sale of advertising space and media buying agencies |
| 73.20Z | Market research and public opinion polling | market research and opinion polling institutes |
The legal professions publish directories that are useful for checking a registration. For the rest of the sector, selection relies on the NAF code.
The 15 columns supplied are described on the export page.
A firm with offices in several towns appears with one record per establishment. Once a record has been matched with Sirene, the shared SIREN number lets you group these offices: say in your request whether you want one contact per firm or per office.
INSEE separates advertising agencies (73.11Z) from public relations and communication consultancy (70.21Z). In practice the two often overlap, so for a campaign aimed at agencies, select both sub-classes.
A lawyer or accountant practising as a sole trader appears under their own name: these are personal data, with the duty to inform (Art. 14 GDPR) and the right to object (Art. 21). For email, the CNIL accepts prospecting of professionals on the basis of legitimate interest if the message relates to their profession: B2B prospecting rules.

Questions
Not yet: our records do not carry a NAF code yet. It will be possible via sub-class 69.20Z for records matched with the Sirene database, which carries the NAF code. Matching is in progress: the quote states how many records in your area have a NAF code and how many do not yet. Note that 69.20Z also includes audit and approved management centres.
Yes. Sub-class 69.10Z “Legal activities” covers lawyers but also notaries and bailiffs (INSEE note). The code alone therefore does not separate these professions; the company name and website help to sort them.
No, this is not a column of the export. To check a lawyer’s registration, use the directory of the Conseil national des barreaux; for a notary, the official directory of the Notaires de France.
