Business
SARL and SAS incorporation through the guichet unique
The flexible SAS and the classic SARL are the main company forms, both without meaningful minimum capital. Since 2023 all business formalities pass through a single online window run by INPI.
Key rules
- The SAS offers wide freedom to organise governance; the SARL is more regulated.
- All formation, modification and cessation formalities go through the guichet unique.
- Registration produces a SIREN/SIRET identifier and entry in the RCS.
Governing law
- Code de commerce
- Loi PACTE (2019)
In practice
The 2023 migration to the INPI guichet unique caused real filing delays, so builders should allow buffer time for registration.
