SARL or Société à
Responsabilité Limitée is the
most popular business
structure in France and
suitable for any type of
activity.
3. Preparing the
documents
After checking and
reserving the name of the
company, you can proceed
to the preparation of its
documents, the Articles of
Association.

account
The minimum share capital for
SARL is EUR 1 and must be
deposited in a bank account
opened in France.
It will also serve the financial
operations of the company.

business license
Certain economic activities
require special licenses and
permits, and these must be

taxes is mandatory for
