BUSINESS LAW AND TAX FIRM DEDICATED TO COMPANIES AND ENTREPRENEURS

The key principles of setting up a business: 

In the context of setting up a business, we assist entrepreneurs in identifying the benefits and disadvantages of the different tax regimes for their business, as well as their tax and social impact for the entrepreneur and the company director. 

What is the difference between auto-entrepreneur status and micro-entrepreneurship? What are the short-, medium- and long-term tax implications for businesses and entrepreneurs? What are the pros and cons of setting up a company? What is the appropriate tax regime for the company and the entrepreneur? I’m about to be associated, what do I need to watch out for? What is the status of entrepreneurs and their partners? How can I plan ahead to avoid conflicts between business partners? How should I evaluate my contribution as a partner? What are the tax and social security differences between the manager of a Limited Liability Company (SARL) and the president of a Simplified Limited Company (SAS) for the entrepreneur? What social coverage do I need as an entrepreneur to ensure the security of my family and my business? Which VAT regime will be applicable to my business? Is there a better option to consider? 

At ATB Law, our lawyers and tax advisors will provide you with detailed answers to your questions and help you identify your priorities for the successful and sustainable creation of your business in line with your objectives.

Planning the transfer of my business: 

In the context of business development, issues relating to the restructuring of family groups can occur in several forms: M&A (mergers/acquisitions), OBOs, transfer of businesses by gift, sale or inheritance. 

In this context, our lawyers and tax advisors will assist to identify the most appropriate solutions for optimising future transfers (creation of holding companies, enactment of Dutreil Pacts, gradual integration of the transferee/successor/heir) in compliance with the applicable tax legislation. Many tax incentives exist to encourage family business transfers or employee buy-outs. 

ATB Law, your tax and business law firm, also assists with structuring, shareholdings, management packages and financing issues to optimise your company’s attractiveness and growth.
