Can Leegal help me choose my legal status?

✅ In brief


Yes. Leegal can help you understand the main differences between the micro-enterprise regime, sole proprietorship (entreprise individuelle, EI), SASU, SAS, EURL, SARL or SCI.


🧭 What you need to know


  • The assistant does not choose for you, but it helps you compare important criteria.
  • The right status depends on your activity, expected revenue, number of shareholders or partners, desired level of protection and ambitions.
  • The choice depends on several criteria: activity, expected turnover, number of shareholders or partners, need for protection, manager's social security regime, taxation, commercial credibility, investment project or intention to bring in partners later.
  • Leegal guides you in preparing your file. For a complex setup or particular situation, it is recommended to seek advice from a professional.


🛠️ 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


  • Creating alone or with others.
  • Expecting low, gradual or high turnover.
  • Needing a simple status or a more scalable structure.
  • Knowing whether your activity involves a risk or specific regulation.
  • 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.


⚖️ 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.
