The key issues
Individual practice or company
As an individual, you report non-commercial profits; through a company, depending on what your profession allows: practice company (SELARL, SELAS) or other forms.
Pay and contributions
Your contributions depend on your income and your pension fund; your pay strategy depends on the form of practice.
Partners and holding
Bringing in a partner, organising the shares, setting up a holding: operations to prepare carefully.
Organisation
Paperless documents, automation under control, simple exchanges: you stay in control without spending your evenings on it.

Your goals, our answers
“Is practising through a company relevant for me?”
On request, we compare individual practice and the company forms allowed by your profession, including pay, contributions and plans.
“I want to partner with someone”
Valuation, entry conditions, sharing of results: we prepare the operation with you and your lawyer.
“I want simpler admin”
Paperless organisation and automation reviewed by a professional: less time on admin, more on your clients.
The forecasts, cash-flow plans, dashboards, simulations, studies and analyses mentioned above are additional engagements, provided on request and quoted in advance in your engagement letter: the more frequent they are, the higher their cost.
Frequently asked questions
Can I practise through an SAS or SARL?
It depends on your profession: some regulated professions must use specific practice companies; others are free to choose. We check your case.
What is the 2035 return?
The annual return of non-commercial profits for liberal professionals practising as individuals, with its schedules.
Do I have to charge VAT?
It depends on your activity and turnover: many liberal services are subject to VAT, subject to the exemption threshold.
Is a holding company useful for a liberal professional?
It can be, for organising partners, investing or preparing a transfer. It is a decision to base on figures.
How is VAT applied to my foreign clients?
Services to business clients established abroad are generally not subject to French VAT, with specific mentions on the invoice; services to private clients follow other rules. We check your situation.
