How to choose CAEN codes.

2Professional conditions

  • Accounting for other companies: accounting services are provided by chartered or licensed accountants who are CECCAR members, and the firm you work through must be registered with CECCAR.
  • Tax consultancy: tax consultants have their own authorisation rules, separate from accounting.
  • Business and management consultancy (7020): no special professional authorisation is required.

We tell you what you need for your activity before setting up.

3PFA or SRL?

A consultant working alone often starts as a PFA. With more clients and collaborators, an SRL may work out better. Note: for a micro-company, consultancy and management income above a certain share can take the company out of the micro regime. Compare in the calculator.
