Limited companies such as EURL or SARL have to abide to specific legal framework or rules for their registration as well as when they close down. In this article I have summarised the steps that will need to be taken in order to close down a SARl or EURL French limited company. I would strongly recommend you to ask your accountant to handle the EURL or SARL closure for you. This should cost between 1500€ and 1800€.
The legal structure of your company will impact on your liability and taxation. To help you make the right decision, I have compiled a basic overview of the different types of companies available in France. As a rule of thumb, if you are alone your options are an Enreprise indiviuelle (sole trader which includes the micro entreprise and auto entrepreneur) or an Entreprise Unipersonnelle à Responsabilité Limitée, EURL (private limited company). If you have several associates you may choose between a Société à Responsabilité Limitée, SARL (Limited liability company) or a Société Anonyme (Business Corporation).
