Setting up
| Step | E-commerce point |
|---|---|
| Form | SASU or EURL for a solo seller; see SASU or EURL |
| Activity | Distance selling of products (APE code 47.91) |
| Registered office | Your stock can be elsewhere: a home address or a domiciliation provider is often enough |
| Cost | €223.56 incl. VAT in legal fees for a SASU (current rates) |
After setting up: what is specific to e-commerce
- VAT: above €10,000 of distance sales to consumers in other EU countries, the VAT of the buyer's country applies, declared through the OSS one-stop shop.
Service-public - Marketplaces (Amazon, Cdiscount, Fnac…): they check your SIREN, VAT number and REP unique identifier before activating a seller.
- REP: in France, a business that places packaged products on the market (and, depending on the products, textiles, electronics, furniture, toys…) must join an eco-organisation and obtain an IDU. Our EPR France Rep service handles this for French and foreign sellers.
- Triman: mandatory sorting label on household packaging.
