What is an EURL?

✅ In brief

An EURL is a SARL with a single associé. It lets you create alone as a company, with rules that are more structured than a SASU.

🧭 What you need to know

• EURL means entreprise unipersonnelle à responsabilité limitée.
• It operates like a single-shareholder SARL.
• The company officer is called the gérant.
• It can be useful for creating alone with a more structured company form.

🛠️ 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 choice between EURL, SASU, entreprise individuelle (EI) or micro-entreprise.
• The social security treatment of the company officer.
• The tax regime applicable to profit.
• The mandatory official fees and documents needed.

⚖️ 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

The EURL is a structured single-shareholder company, to compare with the SASU based on the project and the company officer’s situation.
