Why does Leegal ask for information about company officers?

✅ In Short

Company officers represent the business and must be clearly identified in the file.

🧭 What You Need to Understand

• Depending on the legal form, the officer may be a president, manager (gérant) or individual entrepreneur.
• The requested information is used to prepare the documents and formalities.
• An error in the officer’s identity or role can block the next steps.

🧩 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, in a SASU or SAS, the president must be identified. In a SARL or EURL, the usual term is manager (gérant). The exact role matters because it appears in the documents and in the creation formalities.

🔎 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 identity exactly as shown on official documents.
• Indicate the right role: president, manager (gérant), entrepreneur, etc.
• Check dates, addresses and contact information.

⚠️ Points to Check

• Do not confuse company officer and partner: the same person can be both, but it is not automatic.
• If several people are involved, check each person’s role.

📌 Key Takeaway

Information about company officers identifies who officially represents the business.
