But the latest survey of the Federation of the Centres of Chartered Management (FCGA) shows that the crisis begins to affect certain sectors head-on. Reduction in "history" of the figures of cases, melting of order books, weakening of the trésoreries: the artisans, merchants and independent service providers feel, with a time of major groups behind, the effect of the crisis. Sign of the times: even the BTP, traditional "locomotive" of the growth of small businesses, recorded a fall in-3,7 of its turnover. In this survey, 8 main areas of activity and 26 professions are passed through.
The health professions: 1.5They are the ones which perform best. After a slack year ( 0.8), pharmacists and opticians-private realize the highest increase of activity in 2009. However, even if the turnover of the sector remains largely positive ( 1.5), margins tend to decrease in the two professions.
Cafés-hotel-restaurant: 0It is the bad "surprise" of the investigation. Despite the decrease in VAT, claimed to body and cries by restaurateurs, the sector is unable to recover.

Food retail: 0.4More encouraging outcome on the other hand for food artisans who resist rather well to the crisis. Bakers (0.3), Baker (0.2), butchers (-0.8), type (0.1), convenience of proximity (0.5) and shops of fruits and vegetables (-3) are all facing a decline in sales, but it remains globally rather moderate (except for the primeurs). Crisis force, consumers seem to want to turn to more nearby.
The trades of beauty and aesthetics:-1.2Facing a drop in their purchasing power, the French cut in spending seen as superfluous. This is the case of the aesthetic beauty.

The equipment of the person: 2.1Second item often reduced, the equipment of the person is therefore also logically affected with a decline of 2.1 of its turnover. Watchmakers-jewellers (-3.5) and ready-to-wear stores (3) record the strongest declines of activity.
The equipment of the House:-2.9The fall is even tougher in the sector of equipment of the House:-2.9. The most affected Small appliance stores:-4 (compared with 2.4 in 2008)! Even the florists do not see life in rose with a decrease of-2.7.
Building:-3,7A symbol: the collapse of the building. 2009 was a year black for the sector, which the turnover is charged an average decline of 3.7.
