# Setting up a company for €0: which fees are still payable?

Updated : 2026-10-22 · Source : https://legalrapide.fr/en/reponses/creer-societe-0-euro/

No, a company is never set up for €0: the "€0" refers to the online service's own fee. Legal fees are still payable, namely **€223.56 incl. VAT for a SASU** and €291.96 incl. VAT for a SAS in mainland France, at current rates.

## What you still pay with a €0 offer
| Item | SASU | SAS | EURL | SARL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Greffe + beneficial owners | €53.16 | €53.16 | €53.16 | €53.16 |
| Legal notice incl. VAT | €170.40 | €238.80 | €148.80 | €177.60 |
| **Total** | **€223.56** | **€291.96** | **€201.96** | **€230.76** |

## What a €0 offer often does not include
- A check of your application by a formalities specialist: you file it yourself or it goes out as it is.
- A guaranteed turnaround time.
- Corrections if the greffe asks for regularisation.

At LegalRapide, the Essentiel offer is €0 excl. VAT; the check and guaranteed filing within 24 business hours come with the Rapide plan (€149 excl. VAT).

## Also check
A "free" formation may be conditional on a subscription (accounting, business account): count its cost over 12 months. See the [comparison of services](/en/comparatifs/creation-societe-en-ligne/).
