It is a question of survival for tens of thousands of independent companies, 30% of whose employees are paid at the minimum wage level, up to 40% in the accommodation and catering sector according to DARES figures.

Already, independent professionals and managers of VSEs are massively indicating that they are suspending or even canceling their planned investments and recruitment.
