Why does Leegal ask me to specify my activity?

✅ In Short

The activity helps explain what the business will actually do and avoids a description that is too vague.

🧭 What You Need to Understand

• The activity can affect the formalities, documents and checks needed.
• An imprecise activity can lead to additional questions.
• Some activities are regulated or require specific supporting documents.

🧩 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, “services” is too broad. “Website creation for small businesses” is much more useful. A well-described activity helps prepare a readable file and identify cases that require a check.

🔎 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

• Explain the service or product offered.
• Add the main channel: online, in store, at clients’ premises, delivery, consulting, etc.
• Specify whether you carry out a regulated, technical, financial, medical, real estate or transport activity.

⚠️ Points to Check

• Avoid overly general wording such as “services” without details.
• Do not declare an activity that is different from the activity actually planned.

📌 Key Takeaway

A well-described activity helps prepare a clearer and more consistent file.
