1 - Who is Manage Your Micro Entrepreneur for?

Manage Your Micro Entrepreneur has been designed specifically for English speakers who have recently registered their business within the last 0 to 12 months.

It’s organised to help you understand the French system while ensuring that you are complying with the rules: invoicing, bookkeeping, banking, and declarations.

This group course is ideal for:

Newly registered Micro Entrepreneurs.
First-time freelancers.
More experienced entrepreneurs, but first-timers in France.
Service providers: consultants, programmers, coaches, wellness.
Buy-to-resell, shops, e-commerce, online courses.
Gites, artisans / manual activities and crafts.

Manage Your Micro Entrepreneur isn’t for you if you have created an enterprise individuelle under reel simplifie, an incorporated business (EURL, SARL, SAS, SASU) or an artiste with Maison des Artistes.

2 - Do I really need help with my Micro Entrepreneur?

Registering your micro entrepreneur was the first step to integrating into the French system. Now you need to learn the language and apply the rules. Unfortunately, you might have already realised that French accountants aren’t interested because your business is too small:“Come back to me when you’ve reached the VAT threshold. You can do it on your own”.

Only to find out that once you get started, it’s more complex than it seems. You’re spending hours searching online with Google Translate, second-guessing and getting stressed or frustrated by it all.

You might have already come across these hurdles:

Lots of letters and weird forms arriving on your doorstep.
Not knowing what to keep, file or bin.
Wondering which online account you really need for now.
Having doubts about the information to add to your invoices.
Wondering if your turnover declaration is correct.
Not to mention setting up your health cover.

Being a freelancer, you are busy working for your customers and have little time to research all of this on your own. This is when the Manage Your Micro Entrepreneur course comes in handy, giving you the right answer as and when you need it, saving you precious time.

7 - What former students say about this program

Here's the feedback from previous students who took the training in 2022 or 2023.

"Manage your Micro Entrepreneur course has been a lifesaver in navigating my first few months in France. Valerie's course walks you through so many details, websites, forms, and requirements step-by-step, which makes it feel manageable! She explains everything clearly. The checklists she provides help you know what to look for and make sure you're not missing essential to-do items. She's available to answer questions. It's a huge relief! I can't recommend this course enough. It saved me so much stress and worry!"

Raina Willick, Personal & Professional Development Coach

"The course was immensely helpful. I was in an anxious fog before and now it’s clearing. I understand social charges and taxes, TVA and bookkeeping. It can be confusing and worrisome to work in another language. This course provides a set of films and guidance sheets on everything you need to know. Live sessions with accountancy, marketing and other experts and regular Q&As with Valerie and the group of participants who are working with similar concerns add great value. There were so many things about how I needed to interact with the French fiscal system that I did not understand, and now I do."
