Joinery has one particularity files tend to neglect: the workshop. The fixed-establishment requirement is assessed against the real activity, and a production trade sits poorly with a bare address. The choice of premises, commercial lease, business park or mixed unit, is made before filing: it conditions the file's credibility and, later, the deductibility of costs.

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.
