COMPANY FORMATION · CHARTERED ACCOUNTANCY FIRM IN PARIS
Set up your company with complete peace of mind
From choosing the right legal form to receiving your Kbis certificate, our firm supports you at every step. You make the right decisions from the outset — we take care of the paperwork.
Why entrust your company formation to us
Setting up a company means laying foundations that will stay with you for years. Better to lay them straight, with a chartered accountant at your side.
🎓
Genuine company-formation expertise
Registered with the French Institute of Chartered Accountants (Ordre des Experts-Comptables), our firm handles company-formation files every week. You get reliable answers on legal form, taxation and social security status — not information gleaned online.
🧭
The right decisions from day one
SARL or SAS, corporation tax or personal income tax, salary or dividends: these choices shape your tax position for years to come. We weigh them up with you, figures in hand, based on your actual project.
📋
Zero paperwork for you
Articles of association, legal notice, declaration of beneficial owners, filing with the one-stop business portal: we handle all the administrative formalities. No more deciphering INPI forms on your own.
🤝
From A to Z, right up to your Kbis
A dedicated adviser follows your file from the first meeting through to receipt of your Kbis certificate. And once the company is registered, we stay at your side for your accounting and tax affairs.
When should you call on us?
Every company formation reflects a specific situation. Here are the cases where the support of a chartered accountant makes all the difference.
📈
You are moving from micro-entrepreneur to company
Your business is taking off and you are approaching the micro-entrepreneur thresholds. Setting up a SARL or SAS becomes worthwhile to optimise your tax position, deduct your expenses and protect your personal assets. We manage the transition without any break in your activity.
🌱
You are making a career change
Retraining, leaving salaried employment, launching after a mutually agreed termination: you want your project on a secure footing. We review your entitlements and the available support schemes, such as ACRE and the continuation of unemployment benefits, so you start under the best possible conditions.
👥
You are going into business with partners
Setting up with two or more partners calls for a clear framework: share capital allocation, directors’ powers, exit clauses. Well-drafted articles of association prevent future disputes. We help you balance everyone’s interests from the very start.
How does it work?
A straightforward four-step journey, from the first conversation through to your official registration.
1
Advisory meeting
We discuss your project to determine the legal form, tax regime and social security status that suit you best. We also review the support schemes you can claim and your remuneration as a director.
2
Drafting the articles of association
We draft bespoke articles of association: corporate purpose, share capital, allocation of shares, management arrangements and useful clauses. You review them, we fine-tune, and we then arrange publication of the legal notice.
3
Capital deposit & formalities
You deposit the share capital into a dedicated account and we collect the deposit certificate. We then put together the complete file and submit it to the INPI one-stop business portal, together with the declaration of beneficial owners.
4
Receiving your Kbis
Your company is registered: you receive your Kbis certificate and your SIREN number. You can release the capital, open your business bank account and start invoicing. We remain your point of contact for everything that follows.

Frequently asked questions
Which steps do you take care of?
We manage the entire journey: advice on the legal form, drafting the articles of association, publishing the legal notice, declaring the beneficial owners and filing the application with the one-stop business portal. You only step in to approve the key decisions and deposit the capital into your account. Everything else is on us.
Which legal form should you choose?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer: it all depends on your activity, the number of partners, your personal situation and your remuneration goals. The SAS offers flexibility and a salaried-equivalent social security status, while the SARL provides a more structured framework and a self-employed status that is often less costly. During the advisory meeting, we compare the options with figures in hand to select the one that works best for you.
How long does registration take?
Once the complete file has been submitted to the one-stop business portal, registration generally takes from a few days to two weeks, depending on the activity and the registry’s workload. We prepare the file carefully in advance to avoid rejections and back-and-forth exchanges that stretch out the timeline. You are kept informed at every stage until you receive your Kbis.
How does the capital deposit work?
The share capital is deposited into a dedicated account in the name of the company being formed, with a bank or an authorised institution. Once the funds have been paid in, you receive a deposit certificate, which is essential for the registration file. We advise you on the appropriate amount and the supporting documents required, then include the certificate in the file.
Which documents do you need to provide?
You will mainly need an identity document, proof of address and an address for the registered office. Depending on your situation, other documents may be required, such as a declaration of non-conviction or proof of qualification for regulated activities. We send you a precise, personalised checklist from the very first meeting.
How do you move from micro-entrepreneur status to a company?
Moving to a company involves creating a new structure (SARL, SAS or another form), transferring your activity into it, and then closing the micro-enterprise. We coordinate both moves to avoid any interruption and to safeguard continuity with your clients. We also assess the tax and social security impact of the change so that the switch happens at the right time.

Let’s talk about your project at a first meeting. Together we define the legal form, the tax approach and the steps to set up your company under the best possible conditions — without leaving you to face the formalities alone.
