The 6 steps for your SAS / SASU
Every step handled by a local advisor — you only sign where needed.
Step 01
We choose between SAS and SASU
We compare SASU (single shareholder) and SAS (several) on cost, governance and tax for your activity.
Step 02
Name and articles
We check the name with the INPI and draft the articles and the legal notice ready for your signature.
Step 03
Capital and bank account
Capital is freely set from €1: we define how much makes sense and support the account opening for the deposit.
Step 04
Legal notice and RCS registration
We coordinate publication of the legal notice and the filing with the local professional who submits it.
Step 05
Tax registrations and VAT number
We prepare the initial returns so they go in with the registration and the SIREN/SIRET and intra-EU VAT number come through.
Step 06
Accounting, VAT and corporate tax
French chart of accounts, VAT and corporate tax calendar, the year-end close and payroll if you hire, with an adviser in Spanish.
Three points that raise the most questions
NIF / NIE of the partners
The SAS president needs neither residence nor French nationality. We prepare their documentation and the shareholders' for filing with the RCS registration.
Bank account and capital
France allows a SAS with freely set capital from €1. The bank account is opened within the process so the company can trade and get paid.
Buying portfolio companies
The SAS is a very flexible structure for holding companies too: it allows grouping holdings of several subsidiaries and simplifying dividend distribution between companies of the group.
