EIRL (Entreprise Individuelle à Responsabilité Limitée) is a particularly popular legal status for entrepreneurs. They particularly appreciate its security: the entrepreneur is only liable to the extent of his or her capital contributions.
In the event of financial difficulties, the company's assets are fully protected, unless there is evidence of mismanagement.
The advantages of the EIRL don't stop there: its creation and day-to-day management are simplified.
An essential choice in the process of creating your company, the address of the registered office determines its country of taxation, its nationality, and also the competent authorities in the event of a dispute. But this address is not immutable, and may change during the existence of the EIRL. Would you like to know more about the procedures to follow and their cost?
Let's discover all the keys to transferring the registered office of your EIRL!
To change the address of your registered office, you need to update the articles of association of your EIRL. Above all, don't forget to publish a minute formalizing this change! Once these steps have been taken, the next step is to publish a transfer notice in an approved legal gazette.
The cost of this procedure varies from department to department. It is calculated on the basis of ministerial decrees. On average, you should expect to pay €158 to publish your change of registered office notice!
The next step is to submit a transfer file to the commercial court clerk's office. This must include the completed CERFA M2 form, the published notice of transfer, the minutes and the updated articles of association.
Registry fees vary according to the new address of your registered office:
- Would you like to register your EIRL in the same département? Filing fees at the Clerk's Office of the Commercial Court are €95.95 incl. VAT.
- Would you like to transfer your registered office address to another département? The filing fee with the Clerk's Office of the Commercial Court is €135.04 incl. VAT.
Please note that if you are a craftsman, you must add to this amount the cost of changing your registration with the Chamber of Trades. The cost is between €50 and €100 (incl. VAT) , depending on the region.
Many entrepreneurs delegate administrative tasks to third parties. This allows them to concentrate on growing their business.
