Registering a company online in France has become more accessible through the government’s digital portal. The process involves several key steps to ensure legal compliance and proper establishment of the business entity.

1. Choose a Legal Structure
   Before you register a company in France, decide on the appropriate legal form—such as SARL (limited liability company), SAS (simplified joint-stock company), or EURL (single-member LLC)—depending on your business needs.

2. Draft the Articles of Association (Statuts)
   Prepare and sign the company’s statutes, which define the company’s purpose, capital, governance, and management. This document must be signed by all partners or shareholders.

3. Deposit Share Capital
   Open a temporary business bank account in France and deposit the required share capital. The bank will issue a certificate of deposit (attestation de dépôt des fonds).

4. Publish a Legal Notice
   Publish a notice of company formation in an authorized legal announcements journal (journal d’annonces légales).

5. Register Online via the INPI Portal
   Go to the official INPI website (procedures.inpi.fr) to submit your application. Upload the required documents, including identification, proof of address, Articles of Association, and the capital deposit certificate.

6. Receive Company Registration Certificate (Kbis)
   Once approved, you’ll receive a Kbis extract, the official proof of company registration in France.
