The business licence gives you the right to operate; it does not automatically register you with the grid operators for connections and compliance work. Those are two distinct procedures, and confusing them delays the first billable jobs. Our scoping lists what belongs to the Ministry of the Economy and what belongs to the grid, with the right calendar.

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.

Solo trade or an electrical company?

A starting electrician can run as a sole trader; from the first employee or the first contracts with general contractors, a SARL or SARL-S protects assets and structures invoicing. The single formation flat fee, qualification included, and payroll from EUR 20 excl. VAT per payslip are on the 2026 fee grid.
