What is an EURL?

✅ In brief

An EURL is a SARL with a single associé. It lets you create alone as a company, with rules that are more structured than a SASU.

🧭 What you need to know

EURL means entreprise unipersonnelle à responsabilité limitée.
It operates like a single-shareholder SARL.
The company officer is called the gérant.
It can be useful for creating alone with a more structured company form.

🛠️ How Leegal supports you

Leegal helps you understand the wording shown during the creation process and prepare a clearer file.
The flow can organize information, documents and points to watch, but it does not replace a personalized review.
If your situation is specific, it is still preferable to ask a chartered accountant, a lawyer or another qualified professional for advice.

🔎 Points to check

The choice between EURL, SASU, entreprise individuelle (EI) or micro-entreprise.
The social security treatment of the company officer.
The tax regime applicable to profit.
The mandatory official fees and documents needed.

⚖️ Limits to know

Leegal is not a law firm or an accounting firm.
Leegal explains the options and helps prepare formalities, but does not choose for you.
Tax, social security or personal asset consequences can depend on your actual situation.

📌 Key takeaway

The EURL is a structured single-shareholder company, to compare with the SASU based on the project and the company officer’s situation.
