@PG-hy1hd yes indeed this is pretty similar, so it's nice to get someone's feedback. you can look at this official site on guides www.entreprises.gouv.fr/fr/tourisme/conseils-strategie/foire-aux-questions-metiers-du-guidage . For the business, I recommend going for a micro entrepreneur. From the UK, you will also need a business visa. I would recommend a visa Profession Liberale.

@@StartBusFrance Thank you so much for the quick response. I will look into this. Best wishes. Peter

I'm not sure to be understanding your question, would you mind clarifying? CPF compte professionel formation is topped up when you work as am employee in France or make contributions via your business.

@@StartBusFrance My apologies not CPF but SIRET number.. my bad

@@bbdamur17 Ile Maurice / Mautitius is part of France, so as a national you can register a business visa INPI.

@@StartBusFrance Actually Mauritius is a republic and not a part of France. I was hoping you could actually help me with the steps and documents needed to do it. I am going to Reunion island in a few days.

In that case I 'm afraid that you need to apply for a business visa such as visa profession liberale from home. Prepare a business & financial plan and apply via France Visa

@edwincredible I'm not sure to understand your situation. Getting a SIRET number means registering a business. Therefore stopping means closing it down with INPI. Just in case: you shouldn't be pushed into creating a business by an employer, there should hire you with a work contract.

Pleased you enjoyed it. What is the thing that you find helped to improve your French the most?

@@StartBusFrance Alex is my coach and I completely agree with his four pillars. Naturally having (or training oneself to have) a positive mindset makes one so much more receptive to learning. Taking accountability for creating opportunities, creating routine is also key. In traditional learning settings quite understandably there is so much focus on speaking; as a counterbalance, it has been valuable in my own progress to put as much focus on listening comprehension. Working with Alex has really helped me be more analytical about how as adults we can foster language acquisition in ourselves. My French language experience as a result is largely joyful and satisfying as well as ongoing.

@@annemoss-ks6yc Great to hear your feedback and the importance of listening and French routines. I can see that many people put themselves under so much pressure to speak, where there might be easier milestones to reach... and notice as Alex explained!

C'était avec grand plaisir Alex. It's great to see for future expats that very quickly they'll be focusing on the business development and not the French admin.

Which kind of titre de sejour do you have? Are you going in business in a partnership? You can book a Power Hour with me calendly.com/power-hour/power-hour or join my live Q&S on TH-cam tomorrow at 7 pm French time (19th June) th-cam.com/video/xN-nonUG3dM/w-d-xo.html

@@StartBusFrance I've booked a powerhour with you next week, Thank you, really appreciate it :)

Looking forward to our chat

@PYPR_ I'm afraid that in this situation you have to contact INSEE direct, prove your ID and they will issue an Attestation de Situation INSEE

@@StartBusFrance Thank you for confirming.

@user-rn2rv3ms5m yes, this will be seen as business services, registered as a micro entrepreneur "profession libérale"

​@@StartBusFrance oh okay, thank you for such a quick reply!😁

Same handle as TH-cam @startbusfrance

Really thanks for replying, been waiting for this reply🤍. Really wanted to say that I've been following your videos for my application and preparation from long time ago. It's been soo helpful.. thanks for sharing soo much valuable information too.

Thanks for your feedback, it makes my day! And best of luck for your visa application 🤞

@stephensmith277 definitely not a daft question! If your business project is based on your property (gites, retreats, etc), wait until you actually own the property. The Embassy will say no if there is a risk that the sale falls through.

@@StartBusFrance thank you for the swift reply. I appreciate that. Have a fantastic weekend

@ashishmehta007 restaurants aren't the easiest projects to start and you definitely need to already be in France with the right visa (visa profession libérale, visa vie privee et famille).

@aaronzavala7252 yes you can do both under a micro entrepreneur, with a primary and secondary activity. Decide which one will be the main one as it will impact on the body you relate to. Photography relates to Chambre de Metiers. It's not regulated, but if it comes first there will be more documents to supply when you do register the business;.

@@StartBusFrance good to know! And do you register as micro entrepreneur before going to France? Or come to France first? Do you have to have clients already established in order to convince the consulate? Forgive my ignorance, I’m new to this whole process 😅

@@aaronzavala7252 you only register the business one you are in France, since you need your visa for this step. Best to have past clients you can take over or potential new ones.

@@StartBusFrance ah I see. Thus the need to have the “entrepreneur/profession liberals” visa before hand. One last question - what if you’re doing remote work with a company based in the US? Can you continue that to support yourself under this visa?

@@aaronzavala7252 officially you are either on a business visa and create your ME. Or a visitor working remotely, but this is a bit of a grey area and I'm not comfortable with this option.

@ruimartins8601 there is no VAT until you reach 36,800€/year. Above that you will need to request your VAT number, but this is B2B services, it will be reverse-charge (i.e no VAT charged and up to your customer to clear it in Portugal).

@Magicalyou all meetings are via Zoom. Here's my availability calendly.com/power-hour/power-hour

@parisienneatheart looking forward to working with you on your project. For business visa support, I find it best to start working together 6 months before.

@f.a.4077 the tax form is posted to Service Impôts Particuliers (SIP).

@TenaciousP yes, the declaration interface has changed slightly and it is now fully integrated in your personal Impots Account. You are informed to update it when you feel your personal income tax form (extra tab for the properties) . Unfortunately, if you are a non-resident you will still pay Taxe d'Habitation.

At least someone has been converted to square pillows 😂

@parisienneatheart this is the toughest bit. Have a look at my 5 Days Challenge to Freelance, as it helps you brainstorm on business ideas startbusfrance.thinkific.com/courses/Freelance-in-france-challenge

Bonjour @efullilove-thigpen5726 you don't need this number when you file your 1st paper declaration. Leave it blank and they will create one for you.

Not sure what your question is? He could run this as a micro entrepreneur as he is Irish.

Good question. You have to enter your whole turnover. Impôts apply the rebate in their calculation, not you.

I'm afraid that my channel only focus on freelancers. It's best to speak to an accountant for the capital gain. If you are already paying capital gain, there should be a tax credit.

Do you plan to move to France?

If you mean "peintre du bâtiment" yes you can, but this is regulated. You will need to prove your qualifications as a painter or 3 years experience with payslips

You need to register a business, such as a micro entrepreneur with INPI. This will give you a KBIS, proving that you are an official business

@@StartBusFrance can you provide me kbis ? Or can you make it for me Please

@@ankmugum5162 you can look at my micro entrepreneur registration service. You will need to have a European passport or business visa www.startbusinessinfrance.com/auto-entrepreneur

Hello madam i have filled up the form . And so what next ?

Hey madam can i chat with you personally in fb or instagran please .

Cheeky, but everyone is entitled to their own point of you

@@StartBusFrance Of course, sorry, everyone has different experiences, by the way j'adore France, mon grand oncle était français.

​@@cineffectnice! You could come over to trace your family's history. I bet that it would be super interesting.

@@StartBusFrance I have lived in France for almost 20 years, that's why I know how difficult it is to make a living there 😉

@ASIF_Aden a company who doesn't know you isn't likely to offer you a sponsor visa, as it means a lot of year from their part. Unless you are in a sector where there is a lack of skilled employees in France. Have you looked into going freelance? I.E create your own business and move with this project to France? Have a look at the visa profession liberale. And maybe take my 5 Days Challenge to see if freelancing could be an option for you. startbusfrance.thinkific.com/courses/Freelance-in-france-challenge

@marina_monaco yes, your calculation is correct. The Boursobank simulator seems to be giving a lower level of taxes, but they may apply extra rules (for instance a boost for someone getting back to work by creating a business). In the 1st example that I take the single person had a net income of 32,000€, so the calculation is different.

​@@StartBusFrance Thanks a lot 😊 now I understand

@stephanandsandra this is a tricky one! Design in general tends to be profession libérale, but calligraphy entails a manual activity. If you describe it as "Graphiste, calligraphie, ateliers et course de calligraphie" you should be profession liberale.

@@StartBusFrance thank you so much!!

Bonjour @alexivanova0509 selling apps online or digital products are seen as professional libérale, as there is no physical product. I would describe it as "vente en ligne d'applications pour portables". The POD is different because this time it's a physical product, related to photography . You could register both as a micro entrepreneur to start with. And I would describe 2 activities: "activé principale" the apps and "activité secondaire" the POD. You register both under the same business.

Thank you for your advice 🙏 And for the POD should I register it as “activité commerciale” since I only produce a design but the customer does get a physical product?

Hi @hasang597 yes this would work well. you can register as a blogger or for advertising income. Do you plan to offer services? If so include them in your registration too. I'll be doing a live on TH-cam at 7 pm French time , so you can join me to ask further questions. th-cam.com/video/E_XZtAJsZEU/w-d-xo.html

I saw your respond too late, do you mind saying when you planning your next live? @@StartBusFrance

Can you please tell when you are planning to do next live so I can join? Thank you@@StartBusFrance

@@hasang597 it will be on 10th April at 7 pm . I've just added the event th-cam.com/video/GhEA_dMhA1Y/w-d-xo.html

@firozshah5928 Plant nursery will be seen as farming relating to Chambre d'Agriculture and cannot therefore be registered as a micro entrepreneur. You would need a long term visa. I'm afraid that I cannot advise on visas for the farming sector. I'll share a link for you to look into

www.mesdemarches.agriculture.gouv.fr/demarches/exploitation-agricole/creer-ou-ceder-une-exploitation/article/agriculteur-etranger-hors-union

@slrdave6308 nice to hear that the timing was right. TV5Monde is a great idea!

Hello, do the visa requirements apply to EU citizens that are moving to France?

@@harrietwebb1375 Hi. I don't know much about this, but it's my understanding that EU people have "free movement" throughout the EU and some kind of "right to work." So I'm sure you can ask some place like the French consulate about coming. They can clarify the procedure. But I think I read, as an EU citizen, you have free entry, but if you plan on staying longer than 3 months you just need to register with the local municipality to let them know your intentions.

@CsillaPataki please to hear it was clear enough. Big topic!

@EB-bn7zm well done for your level of French, this is advanced vocabulary, which I didn't include. Yes, each time I refer to recettes, chiffre d'affaires or ventes, it means CASHED IN sales or "recettes encaissées". Thank you for this great contribution.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi @carluxx77b the live Q&As is moving to a monthly basis from March. I'll add the date soon & will cover your questions in details. In the meantime, I would say Oui. You can apply for a visa entrepreneur Profession Liberale. Justify that your activity was part time for now and add a strategy of actions you will take to increase this turnover. As a photographer, you could also add services which aren't your favourite but bring in cash (events, family pictures around sport activities, skiing season). Showing savings will also be a big plus.

Many thanks, I'll make sure to watch !@@StartBusFrance
