Article D5213-63-1

French Labour CodeIn force

Updated 2 Nov 2023

I.-Subject to the provisions of II, the total annual amount of aid paid to the adapted company under the financial envelope mentioned in article R. 5213-76 is calculated on the basis of a proportion of workers, excluding prisoners recognised as disabled workers who have signed a prison employment contract, which may not exceed 75% of the company's annual salaried workforce.

This percentage is equal to the ratio of the number of full-time equivalent employees mentioned in the second paragraph of article L. 5213-13-1, whose employment entitles them to financial aid, to the company's annual salaried workforce.

Workers recognised as disabled who have signed a fixed-term contract under the conditions referred to in article 78 of the aforementioned law no. 2018-771 and detainees recognised as disabled workers who have signed a prison employment contract are excluded from the calculation.

II.When the adapted company carries out the mission provided for in Article L. 412-3 of the Penitentiary Code for prisoners recognised as disabled workers who have signed a prison employment contract, the total annual amount of aid paid under the financial envelope mentioned in Article R. 5213-76 is calculated on the basis of a proportion of prisoners recognised as disabled workers which may not exceed 75% of the annual number of prisoners who have signed a prison employment contract and are working within the framework of the contract to set up the adapted company.

This percentage is equal to the ratio between the number of hours worked each year by prisoners recognised as disabled workers whose employment entitles them to financial aid and the total number of hours worked each year by all prisoners who have signed a prison employment contract and work under the contract setting up the adapted company.

Common Questions

Working with a corporate lawyer in France — Q&A

Any time a strategic decision changes how the company is owned, governed or contractually bound — incorporation, fundraising, M&A, restructuring, shareholder agreements, or major commercial contracts. Earlier engagement always costs less than later remediation.

A notary (notaire) is a public officer who authenticates specific deeds (mainly real-estate transfers and certain family-law acts). A corporate lawyer (avocat) advises on strategy, negotiates and drafts company documents, and represents you in disputes. The two roles complement rather than overlap.

Yes — most of our clients are foreign suppliers, investors or holding entities. We bridge the gap between French law and your home jurisdiction's expectations and deliver everything bilingually.

The SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) is the default choice for most international structures: flexible governance, single shareholder allowed, no minimum capital, and works cleanly with foreign holding entities. We assess SARL, SA, SCI on the merits when the situation calls for it.

Yes — communications with a French avocat are protected by the secret professionnel (Article 66-5 of the Law of 31 December 1971). This protection is broader than the common-law attorney-client privilege and applies to written and oral exchanges.

We work on fixed fees for clearly scoped engagements (incorporation, contract drafting, audits) and on monthly retainers for ongoing advisory. Hourly billing is the exception, not the default. You always know the cost before work starts.

Typical timeline is 2–3 weeks from KYC kick-off to RCS registration, assuming standard documentation. Holding-company structures, foreign-shareholder identification or in-kind contributions can extend this — we flag the gating items at the first meeting.

Absolutely. We routinely coordinate with your in-house counsel, expert-comptable or notaire — pragmatic collaboration is the norm, not the exception. We send them everything they need to do their part without duplicating work.
