What is a micro-enterprise?

A micro-enterprise (also called auto-entrepreneur) is the simplest way to start a business in France. It's an individual business status with:

✓ No startup capital required

✓ Simplified taxes — you only pay on what you earn (12-23% of revenue)

✓ No accountant needed — just a simple revenue book

✓ Free to create — the government charges nothing for registration

Frequently asked questions

Can I create a business as a foreigner living in France?

Yes! EU citizens can freely create a micro-enterprise. Non-EU residents need a residence permit that allows self-employment ("vie privée et familiale", "résident", "talent"). Student visas and "salarié" permits do not allow it. Read our full guide for EU citizens →

Is the form in English?

The form is in French (because official French documents require it), but the questions are simple and we guide you through every step. This page explains everything you need to know before starting.

How much does it cost?

Our service costs 70,00€ (tax included). The government registration itself is free — you pay for our support, verification, and peace of mind. Money-back guarantee.

What taxes will I pay?

Social contributions of 12-23% of your revenue, depending on your activity type. No revenue = no taxes. You can also get a 50% reduction the first year with ACRE (if eligible). Try our tax simulator →

Can I work as an employee AND have a micro-enterprise?

Yes, in most cases. Check that your employment contract doesn't have an exclusivity clause. Many people in France run a micro-enterprise alongside their regular job.
