French Commercial code
In forceThe creation of the earmarked assets is the result of a declaration made:
1° For a commercial activity, to the trade and companies register with which the trader is required to register;
2° For an activity in the trades and crafts sector, in the national register of companies with which the head of the business is required to register in this capacity;
3° For activities as a commercial agent, in the special register for commercial agents;
4° For activities not covered by 1° to 3°, in the special register held at the registry of the commercial court or the judicial court with commercial jurisdiction in the area in which the address of their principal place of business is located.
Where the activity carried out by the sole trader is entered both in the Trade and Companies Register and in the National Register of Companies as a business in the trades and crafts sector, the declaration is made to the Trade and Companies Register.
Where the sole trader is transferred to the jurisdiction of another register or attached to another register during the course of his activity, the details entered and all the public documents filed are transferred by the previous body holding the register to the newly competent body. In this case, the transfer is recorded in the first register. The transfer is carried out by electronic means and does not give rise to any fees.
