Why set up a self-employment file?

In fact, if you do not compile the registration file, you will never receive a siren number. And without a siren number, it’s impossible for you to invoice any service or sale: it would be considered hidden work.

A list of documents according to the selected status

Depending on the type of business you want to build, you will collect various documents to send to the Clerk of the Commercial Court or the CFE (Center de Formalités des Entreprises). In fact, the micro enterprise plan is actually a sole proprietorship option available for EI, EIRL and EURL under certain conditions.

Sole Proprietorship (EI)

To create a sole proprietorship, you must complete a file containing the following elements:

• 2 copies of the P0 form dated and signed;
• Proof of domicile of the company;
• non-convict and certificate of paternity;
• proof of information from the spouse;
• A copy of an identity document.

This is the legal form that requires the fewest steps you can take!

Sole Proprietorship with Limited Liability (EIRL)

To create an EIRL in a micro-enterprise, you need to provide the same elements as for a sole proprietorship. But you have to add the following:

• 2 PEIRL micro-entrepreneur entries dated and signed;
• Declaration of asset allocation.

good to know : The independent scheme announced by the government provides for the abolition of the EIRL statute in 2022 to facilitate formalities for entrepreneurs.

One Person Limited Liability Company (EURL)

EURL is a bit special as it is a company and not a business in its own name. However, she can benefit from the micro-enterprise regime. The documents to be provided are actually pretty much:

• A copy of the Articles of Association, certified true and signed by the sole shareholder;
• 3 copies of the M0 EURL form;
• TNS Interlayer if the sole shareholder also exercises the functions of the manager of the company;
• Certificate of publication of JAL (Journal of Legal Announcement) or SHAL;
• Proof of domicile from the registered office;
• A copy of the identity document of the sole shareholder and manager;
• the act of appointing a manager if he is not in the articles of association;
• Depositor’s certificate of funds if the capital includes contribution of funds;
• the contribution auditor’s report if the contribution to the goods is significant;
• Register of Ultimate Beneficial Owners (RBE).

Given the complexity of the EURL as compared to a sole proprietorship, you can refer to our dedicated article to know the documents to be provided and understand the details of the formalities to create the EURL.
