French term

dossier de visite

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) bank job descriptions
Not a lot of immediate context for this phrase as it's used, in a list of duties in a job description for head of business client research at a major bank. I'll share it just as it is, wedged in among other duties (asterisks mine).

Gérer les cahiers de conditions
Gérer les produits télématiques et de cash management
Préparer les *dossiers de visite*
Fiabiliser et analyser avec l’équipe commerciale les études de rentabilité clients
Monter les dossiers LBO et suivre les covenants
Assurer les relations téléphoniques avec la clientèle
Accomplir des missions transversales ponctuelles

Thanks for taking your time on a Saturday...

client files

I think it could be "client files."

Thanks Daniel - this is what the client wanted in the end.

visit report

Reports from sales personnel after visiting prospective clients.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Daryo : you "prepare" something in advance here before the visit to the client // would you prepare a "visit report" BEFORE the visit???

visit file

I'd just keep it literal rather than trying to guess what it contains or come up with a fancy name. We don't know that it's a report - it might be produced before the visit.
Note from asker:
Thanks philgoddard. My client opted for 'client files,' but yours is certainly the closest match, so I will enter it in the glossary along with the term I used.
Peer comment(s):

agree AllegroTrans : Unless we know exactly who is being visited (or coming to visit for that matter) and the purpose, I agree with your approach
2 hrs
agree Daryo : yes, that's the idea a file that will be used during the visit (containing information about the prospect, presentations, draft contracts etc ....) // there might be some other "trade term" for that kind of file, but it's certainly not wrong.

Needs consultation with the client in order to have an explanation ..
Peer comment(s):

disagree mchd : aucune notion de contrôle dans ce contexte
4 hrs
disagree AllegroTrans : I fail to see how you can assume there is any inspection involved

I just tried to be of some help here. What do you suggest as a possible translation, Allegrotrans?
