Q & A

What is the first step before creating a company, according to the video?

The first step is to check the required qualifications for your activity. For example, to become a VTC driver, you need a professional card, which requires passing an exam.

Why is it important to have the necessary qualifications before starting a business?

If you don't have the required qualifications, the registration process could be rejected by the authorities, such as the Greff, during the registration of your company.

What can affect the timeline for company creation in certain industries?

Some activities require dual registration with both the Greff and the Chamber of Trades, such as VTC or construction, which can extend the creation timeline by several weeks.

Are there any specific regulations for non-EU citizens who want to create a business in France?

Yes, non-EU citizens need to verify that their residence permit grants them the legal right to create a business in France.

What are the three options for determining the location of your company's headquarters?

The three options are: using your home address (if legal), opting for a domiciliation service, or renting a commercial space, which is ideal for businesses that receive the public.

Why might a domiciliation service be a useful option for company headquarters?

A domiciliation service allows you to receive mail at a non-residential address and often provides access to meeting rooms, which can be useful if your home cannot be used for business.

What is the importance of determining the capital for your business?

Certain legal forms allow a minimum capital of €1, but some industries, like VTC, require a minimum capital based on the number of vehicles. It is also recommended to have a higher capital to cover initial costs and increase credibility with banks.

How can a higher initial capital benefit a new business?

A higher initial capital, often between €500 and €1,000, helps cover the first operational expenses and makes the business more credible when applying for a bank loan.
