Five tips for successful business creation
There is nothing insurmountable about starting a
business. As long as you put all the assets on your side.
1. Becoming an entrepreneur is not trivial
It involves commitment,
time, sacrifice. The stake is well worth answering a few essential
questions. Is this the right time? Do I
have the skills and especially the skills needed? Are those close to me ready
to support me and to what extent?
summaries Laurence Pineapple, expertise and production director at Agency
France Entrepreneur. (AFE).

2. Define an offer
More than a structure and a
statute, a company, it is first of all an offer that will have to be presented,
explained, promoted. Throughout his creative journey, the project leader must
convince: his relatives, his banker, juries and approval committees, partners,
suppliers, future customers. The more precisely the offer is defined, the more
solidly supported the positioning, the more credible the entrepreneur will be.
3. Do some market research
Market research remains the
best tool to validate the relevance of an offer, assess consumption needs, identify
customer profiles, and set realistic turnover assumptions. “It allows risks to
be reduced as much as possible and the right decisions to be taken upstream,”
emphasises Bruno Le Besmears, chartered accountant. By intelligently using
search engines, by consulting the specialised press, by joining forums on
social networks, by obtaining information from professional federations, we can
already establish - and often free of charge - a valuable diagnosis of your
future market. For a more in-depth study, the junior companies offer very
attractive prices. Associations backed by universities or they are managed by
students,
4. Establish a
forecast.
"Financial forecasts
(financing plan, working capital requirement, income statement, cash flow plan,
profitability projections) are essential for obtaining external
financing", insists Laurence Pineapple. To summarise, the forecast consists
of planning in detail the relationship between income and expenditure ... and
thus to demonstrate the economic tuition
interest of the project. It is therefore necessary to take into account all the
cost items (salaries, equipment, furniture, real estate, transport,
communication), while anticipating hazards as much as possible.
5. Identify aids.
There are many sources of
financial, social and fiscal support in France, as well as recruitment and
innovation support. Among the main public aids: the regional planning bonus
(PAT), aid for the unemployed creating or taking over a business (Accra), new
support for the creation and takeover of a business (Nacre), reserved for applicant’s
employment or beneficiaries of social minima ... To which can be added numerous
private aids dispensed by associations, foundations or groups of companies, as
well as the advice of professional experts
How to choose your
legal status?
This is one of the questions
that torments project leaders the most: what legal status to choose for their
future business? “We have to play down. The status depends on the activity, the
objectives, the financial means and the mode of operation of the company. The
choice is therefore made a little by itself, by successive eliminations”,
underlines Franck Golan, lawyer.
Whatever activity you are
going to launch; two main options are available to you: the sole proprietorship
(IE) or the company. The first - fortify in its simplified version, the
auto-enterprise - has the advantage of simplicity. A simple declaration to
create as to close the activity, no accounting obligation, no general meeting,
fixed contributions in proportion to turnover. And, good news, the turnover
limit for micro-entrepreneurs has just been doubled, set since January 2018 at
170,000 euros for trade and 70,000 euros for services. The status of company,
which is essential when considering joining or hiring, implies more
constraints: drafting of articles of association, filing the accounts every
year at the registry, hold general meetings, approve the accounts, draw up
management reports, draw up minutes of dissolution and liquidation in the event
of cessation of activity.
