To register a SASU, you need seven documents: the signed articles of association, the certificate from the depositary of funds together with the list of subscribers, the certificate of publication of the legal notice, proof of the registered office, the president's identity document and their sworn statement of no criminal record. If the president is not appointed in the articles of association, add the deed appointing them. The guichet unique (single online formalities portal) only accepts PDFs of up to 10 MB per file.

- Foreign president: their valid passport serves as the identity document; other documents in a foreign language may need to be translated.
- Company as president: Kbis extract less than 3 months old (or a document proving its existence), identity document and declaration of no criminal record of its permanent representative; translated articles of association if it is registered outside the EU. See foreign documents to translate.
- Contribution in kind (equipment, business goodwill…): a report from a contributions auditor may be required.
- Regulated activity: diploma, professional card or authorisation depending on the activity.
- Company as shareholder: registration extract of the shareholder company.

Have everything checked before filing
Most requests for corrections come from inconsistencies between documents. With the Rapide plan, a formalities specialist checks them all before filing.
