The Kbis extract is one of the most important documents when creating a company in France. Indeed, it essentially functions as the ID card of your company, being proof of the registration of your business.
At this point, it’s no secret that basically every company in France needs the assistance of a chartered accountant. But dealing with legal issues isn’t necessarily their specialty: lawyers are the ones who are trained for that.
Creating a company is both exciting and terrifying, especially when you’re trying to set up a business in another country! Thankfully, there are ways to increase the chances of success when creating a business in France:
In France, every company has a couple of different identification numbers that serve as a way to identify it. In particular, when it’s registered, a company is assigned a SIREN number, which allows the company to be identified.
That’s not all, however; companies also have one separate SIRET number for each branch they have.
Many people hesitate to set up a company in France. However, most problems people bring up can be solved by getting the help of an online platform when setting up. Here are the most common reasons why people hold off on creating a company in France.
The ACCRE, which stands for “l’Aide au Chômeur Créateur ou Repreneur d’Entreprise” (Aid for the unemployed company creator) is a device set up by the French government, to help the unemployed create a company.
In 2016, the French government introduced the concept of “compte PME innovation” (SME innovation account). This is a device meant to encourage innovation among small companies.
There are quite a few steps to do before you can create your French company. One of the things you’ll have to do is choose a company type, and write the by-laws that go with it.
The by-laws are an essential part of any French company. Indeed, they’re basically the set of rules that will determine how the company functions.
In France, a company cannot exist without by-laws. And since the corporate object is defined in these by-laws, if it is not defined correctly, you won’t be able to launch your company at all!
As such, it’s worth examining how to go about defining your corporate object.
