Which legal form should I choose for consulting?

✅ In brief


A consulting activity can often start simply, but the choice depends on turnover, clients and the expected commercial image.


🧭 What you need to know


  • The micro-entreprise can suit a simple start.
  • A SASU or EURL may be more suitable for a structured project.
  • Professional clients may sometimes expect a company.
  • The TVA regime may matter if your clients recover TVA themselves.


🛠️ 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 type of clients: individuals, professionals or large companies.
  • Expected expenses and costs.
  • The remuneration you want.
  • TVA and filing obligations.


⚖️ 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


For consulting, simplicity is useful, but commercial image and TVA can also matter.
