How do I become a micro-entrepreneur?

Want to become a micro-entrepreneur? We explain all the necessary steps 😉

What are the conditions? 🤔

The micro-entrepreneur scheme is available to all, and can be chosen as a main or supplementary activity.

You must therefore opt for the status of Sole Proprietorship (Entreprise Individuelle - EI) and will be associated with the Social Regime for the Self-Employed (Régime Social des Indépendants - RSI).

Note that this Sole Proprietorship status commits all your personal and professional assets to your business.

To qualify for this status, you must not exceed a certain amount of sales, depending on your activity:

  • 176,200 excl. tax for industrial and commercial profits (BIC)
  • 72,600 excl. tax for services in the BIC category and liberal professions in the non-commercial profits (BNC) category


THE EIRL 🧑‍💻

With a sole proprietorship, the entrepreneur's assets are involved. You may therefore prefer the status ofSole Proprietorship with Limited Liability (EIRL), which enables you to protect your personal assets, which are separated from your business assets, in the event of bankruptcy.

At the time of registration, the micro-entrepreneur will just have to make a declaration of asset allocation, in which the assets required for the EIRL's activity will be listed.


Excluded activities 🚧

The following are excluded from the micro-entrepreneur scheme:

  • activities subject to real estate VAT (transactions by property dealers, developers, real estate agents, transactions involving shares in real estate companies)
  • rentals of bare buildings for business use
  • certain commercial and non-commercial activities (rental of equipment and consumer durables)


Registering your company 📝

Registering your sole proprietorship is quick and easy, with the P0 CM Micro-entrepreneur form and a copy of your ID.

This declaration is compulsory and can be made free of charge:

  • the Registre du Commerce et des Sociétés (RCS) if you are a retailer
  • Répertoire des Métiers (RM)
  • online withUrssaf or the one-stop shop

You will then receive your identification numbers (SIREN, SIRET and APE codes) from INSEE within a week or so.

Your sole proprietorship is created! 🚀
