How do you set up your consulting company as an independent consultant?

Questions to ask yourself

• First-year income: low, and receiving benefits from France Travail? See SASU and ARE.
• Still an employee? Check the exclusivity clause and the duty of loyalty: starting a company while employed.
• Already a micro-entrepreneur? Moving from micro-entreprise to company.
• A client waiting for an invoice? Can you invoice before the Kbis?

Business activity and corporate purpose

Management consulting (APE code 70.22Z) is not a regulated activity. Legal advice, however, is reserved for authorised professions: do not include it in your corporate purpose unless you hold the required qualification.
