Registering Your Freelance Business in France

Freelancers must register with URSSAF under the micro-entreprise system, which simplifies taxes and social contributions.
Maximum annual earnings: €77,700 for services / €188,700 for trade.
Registration provides a SIRET number, allowing you to invoice clients legally.
Many start under micro-entrepreneur status and later move to EURL or SCOP structures as their business grows.
Registration can be completed via the Guichet Unique des Entreprises website (procedures.inpi.fr).
