The 24-business-hour deadline of the Rapide plan starts when your complete application is received: signed articles of association, certificate of deposit of funds, certificate of publication of the legal notice, proof of registered office, ID document and signed declaration of no criminal convictions. Your client area shows the time your complete application was received and the filing deadline, and you also receive them by email. The deadline is counted in consecutive hours; Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays are not counted.
Example
| Complete application received | Filed no later than |
|---|---|
| Tuesday 4 pm | Wednesday 4 pm |
| Friday 4 pm | Monday 4 pm (Saturday and Sunday not counted) |
| Saturday 11 am | Tuesday midnight (the deadline starts Monday at midnight) |
Filing on the guichet unique (one-stop online portal) is a separate step from registration: the time the greffe (commercial court registry) takes to approve it does not depend on LegalRapide.
