Can I use Leegal if I have already started my activity?

✅ In brief


Yes, but you need to check your situation if you have already sold, invoiced, signed contracts or incurred expenses.


🧭 What you need to know


  • In the case of a company being formed, some acts may need to be taken over after registration.
  • The handling depends on the type of act, French legal form and timeline.


🛠️ How Leegal supports you


  • The process helps you compare the main families: micro-enterprise regime, sole proprietorship (entreprise individuelle, EI), SASU, SAS, EURL, SARL or SCI.
  • The questions asked are used to understand your project: activity, expected revenue, single shareholder or partners, protection needs and planned development.
  • When your situation goes beyond the standard scope, Leegal can direct you toward a check by a professional.


🔎 Points to check


  • List acts already carried out.
  • Keep supporting documents.
  • Seek professional advice if significant contracts or expenses have already been committed.
  • The choice of status has legal, social security, tax and administrative consequences.
  • A status suited to launch may become less suited if turnover, shareholders or partners, or risks change.
  • A regulated activity or a project with several shareholders or partners often deserves a deeper check.


⚖️ Limits to know


  • Leegal is not a law firm or an accounting firm.
  • The platform provides an assistant, templates, a formalities service and, where necessary, referral to professionals.
  • For a personalized legal, tax, social security or accounting question, it is recommended to seek advice from a qualified professional.


📌 Key takeaway


Leegal provides useful reference points to decide, but does not replace personalized consultation when the choice involves a complex situation.
