Do I legally have to have an accountant to set up a reel simplifee or EURL?

I am in the process of creating a business in France with l’aide aux demandeurs d’emploi créant ou reprenant une entreprise (Accre). And for me reel simplifee seems the best choice (reading your forum etc.), as I am just starting up my business, and I don’t see much income the first year (a consultant in development durable).

But for obtaining help, they are, let’s say, more generous, it seems if I create a entreprise unipersonnelle à responsabilité limitée (EURL) and have a KBIS number.

But I’m concerned that this structure is too much too soon, for a one-man consultancy, and reading your other posts seems rather more expensive to set up, e.g. 2,000 euro, plus capital, plus accountant, plus TVA registered.

Is it really around 2,000 euro to set up a EURL business in France?

Is there anyway basically to reduce these costs the first year?
