Why does Leegal ask for information about partners?

✅ In Short

Partners hold part of the company, and their information is needed to organize the capital.

🧭 What You Need to Understand

• When there are several people, the file must show who owns what and in what proportion.
• This information is used to prepare the articles of association, the capital distribution and sometimes the beneficial owners (bénéficiaires effectifs).
• A partner can be an individual or, in some cases, a company.

🧩 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, if two people each contribute part of the capital, both partners and each person’s share must be indicated. A person who helps from time to time without holding shares is not automatically a partner.

🔎 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

• Add every planned partner from the time of creation.
• Indicate the planned distribution and each person’s contributions.
• Check that the total matches the planned capital.

⚠️ Points to Check

• Do not leave a real partner out of the file.
• Do not confuse a simple collaborator with a partner who holds shares.

📌 Key Takeaway

Partners structure the company: their information must be accurate and consistent with the capital.
