Why does Leegal ask for a registered office address in the process?

✅ In Short

The registered office (siège social) is the official address of the business and appears in several documents.

🧭 What You Need to Understand

• The registered office address is used to identify the business with organizations and on certain documents.
• It can be different from the place where the activity is carried out.
• It must be exact, complete and justifiable if a document is requested.

🧩 Why It Matters

Formalities information is reused in the creation documents and may be checked by the competent organizations. A small mistake in an address, manager, partner, capital or activity can therefore lead to a correction request. It is better to handle these points calmly before validation.

💡 Simple Example

For example, you may work at your clients’ premises but have the registered office (siège social) at your home or with a domiciliation company. The registered office is the official address of the business: it must be entered separately from the place where you provide your services.

🔎 Do Not Confuse

Information requested in the process is not requested out of curiosity. It can be used to identify the business, the people involved or the documents needed. When data seems sensitive, mainly check that it matches the reality of the file exactly.

🛠️ How to Do It on Leegal

• Enter the full address: number, street, postal code, city and additional details if needed.
• Specify whether you use your home, business premises or a domiciliation address.
• Prepare a supporting document if the process asks for one.

⚠️ Points to Check

• Do not confuse registered office (siège social), personal address, operating location and correspondence address.
• An incomplete address can slow down preparation of the file.

📌 Key Takeaway

The registered office address is official information: review it carefully before validation.
