Selling a Licence IV or III in Pia
Pia has 11,615 residents. The town is in Pyrénées-Orientales (66), whose prefecture is Perpignan: it is the 5th most populated town in the département. In a town of this size, a licence interests project owners in the town as well as those in neighbouring towns, who can have it transferred.
Pia is part of “CC Corbières Salanque Méditerranée”, which brings together 21 towns and 25,195 residents. Project owners often search across the community of communes: your buyer may also come from a neighbouring town.
You have two options: a buyback by the firm, with payment within 48 hours of signing, or a sale to project owners in the area, at the best price. The valuation is free and you pay no fees.
The cap on drinks establishments in Pia
The French Public Health Code (article L3332-1) limits the opening of 3rd category drinks establishments to one 3rd or 4th category establishment per 450 residents. Pia's indicative cap is 25 establishments, not counting tourist accommodation capacity.
Once the number of existing establishments reaches this cap, no new Licence III can be created in the town: existing licences become more sought after. Your expert checks the situation in Pia when valuing your licence.

If your Licence IV is the last one in its town, transferring it to another town requires the mayor's approval. We check this as soon as we value your licence.
Is your licence still valid?
A licence that has not been operated for more than five years is cancelled (article L3333-1 of the French Public Health Code). If your premises are closed, check your deadline: you need to allow time to sign the sale and complete the transfer.
