Sommaire

-2.8% year-on-year (quarterly basis)
-0.4% year-on-year (twelve months basis)
Nearly half of business set-ups are self–managed micro-entrepreneurs

Warning: Since December 19, 2014, new provisions defined by the Pinel law of 18 June 2014 apply to self-managed enterprises, now called micro-entrepreneurs instead of “auto-entrepreneurs”. This new denomination is used from December 2014 business start-ups data onward.

This status must be distinguished from both simplified tax scheme (sometimes called tax regime of micro-enterprise) and category of microenterprises defined under Article 51 of the law on the modernization of the economy (LME) and specified by Decree No. 2008-1354.

-2.8% year-on-year (quarterly basis)

The raw amount of births added up in the last three months went down compared to the same months one year before (-2.8% for all enterprises and -16.2% for self-managed micro-entrepreneurs alone).

The sectors that most contributed¹ to that decrease were construction and retail.

-0.4% year-on-year (twelve months basis)

During the last twelve months, the raw number of business set-ups decreased (-0.4% year-on-year): the decrease in sole proprietorships creations (-1.7%) is partly offset by the rise in companies start-ups (+2.7%).

Nearly half of business set-ups are self–managed micro-entrepreneurs

In March 2015, 49.2% of business set-ups over the last twelve months were micro–entrepreneurs.
