Registering Your Freelance Business in France

[encrypted]

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).
