A bakery combines two regimes the file must handle together: the trade qualification and food safety, traceability and self-checks from day one. Add a social reality of its own: night work, with its premiums, which structures the bakehouse payroll. A mis-parameterised bakery payslip takes months to correct.

How does the filing proceed?

We prepare the file, submit it on MyGuichet to the Directorate-General for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and follow it through to the decision. You sign, we do the rest; the flat fee is confirmed in writing before any hour is billed.

Bakehouse, shop, outlets: which structure?

Production and points of sale can live in one company or be separated depending on the planned growth; that choice is made at formation, not after. SARL-S at the single EUR 2,049 flat fee, night payroll from EUR 20 excl. VAT per payslip, bookkeeping with till from EUR 250 excl. VAT per month: details on the 2026 fee grid.
