Imbault established a sheet music publishing house in the beginning of the 1780s.
It worked the first year thanks to the help of Jean-Georges Sieber (the other great publisher of the time,) who founded his own music publishing house, "À la règle d’or", in 1771.
Their association was made public on 2 August 1783 with the release of the second flute concerto by François Devienne (1759–1803).
From November 1784, ads feature him alone for publications by Jean-Baptiste Cartier and Grétry.
His sign, "Le Mont d’or", was situated rue Saint-Honoré.
He presented himself first as "marchand de musique et de cordes d’instrument", then, in early 1811, as "teacher and music publisher".

In catalogs published between 1786 and 1803 and especially a 284 pages catalog dated 1791 or 1792 - containing about 200 instrumental works - one can follow the considerable importance of the company's publications.
A great number of important composers were presented: Haydn (including the Symphonies Parisiennes (#82 to 87), Clementi, Viotti, Pleyel, Mozart, Boccherini, Gyrowetz, Paul Wranitzky, Daniel Steibelt, Alessandro Rolla and many other composers.

During the Revolution, he published about one hundred patriotic hymns.

In 1798 or 1799 he bought the store of a publisher named Leblanc for another sale location specified in his advertising: in the "peristyle of the comic Opera Theatre" at 461 rue Favart.

In July 1812, he sold his business to a former clerk, Pierre-Honoré Janet and to Alexandre Cotelle.
He retired - but remained at 125 rue Saint-Honoré where the shop was located – living off his royalties
His widow, with whom he had no children, survived him when he died aged 79.
