- BtoB: business to business, corresponding to services sold to home businesses;
- BtoC: business to customer, corresponding to services sold to households in France;
- BtoE: business to exports, corresponding to services sold on foreign markets;
- BtoAll: business to all, corresponding to the aggregation of the three market segments BtoB, BtoC and BtoE.
