Business owners also give their opinion on their cashflow and customer payment times.
The survey covers retail trade and motor vehicle trade and repair in metropolitan France, excluding: local or specialized food trade, retail sale of flowers and pets, retail sale of second-hand goods, non-store retail trade (with the exception of the mail order sector, which is included in the scope of the survey).
