Setting up a business is an exciting adventure, but it also involves a number of administrative and legal formalities. Choosing the right structure, drafting the articles of association and registering your company are all crucial steps in ensuring the long-term future of your project. At Lacombe Brisou Avocats, we are with you every step of the way to ensure optimum legal security.
Key stages in setting up a business
Defining your business project
Before you even get started, it’s crucial to define your project. This includes:
- Identifying your target market.
- Evaluating your business model.
- Drawing up a solid financing plan.
💡 Legal advice: Validate your project with a lawyer to identify any legal constraints linked to your activity (sector-specific regulations, specific authorizations).
Choosing the right legal structure
Choosing the right legal structure is a decisive step. SARL, SAS, EURL, or auto-entrepreneur, each status has its advantages and disadvantages:
- SARL: Ideal for family projects or small businesses.
- SAS: Flexible management, often adapted to startups.
- Auto-entrepreneur: Administrative simplicity, but limited sales ceilings.
💡 The lawyer’s role: We analyze your project and your needs to recommend the structure best suited to your tax, social and financial objectives.
Drawing up your company’s articles of association
Bylaws define the way your company operates (organization, division of powers, decision-making rules, etc.). Imprecise drafting can lead to future disputes.
Essential points to include :
- Distribution of shares.
- Decision-making procedures.
- Specific clauses such as approval or pre-emption.
💡 Service offered: We draft customized articles of association, in compliance with current legislation, while incorporating specific clauses to anticipate potential conflicts between associates.
Administrative formalities
Registering your company is an essential step. It includes :
- Registration with the registre du commerce et des sociétés (RCS).
- Declaration of activity to social and tax authorities.
- Opening a dedicated bank account.
💡 Legal support: We take care of all the formalities, so you can concentrate on developing your business.
The advantages of legal support for your business start-up
Setting up a business without support can expose entrepreneurs to costly mistakes (inappropriate choice of structure, imprecise statutory clauses, etc.). Here’s what we can do for you:
- Legal security: Anticipating risks and complying with legal obligations.
- Save time: Take care of all the administrative formalities.
- Personalized advice: A strategy tailored to your business and your objectives.
