Building a business is exciting, but it can also be very hard. There is much to do, much to decide, and much to learn, and there are also many opportunities. You have to start from scratch to reach the goal.

If you have a good idea to start a company and you are ready to take the next step, you are in the right place. This guide will make you think about all the aspects that you should take into account when creating your own company, from perfecting your idea to making your first sale.

In this article, we will explain how you can get help in your company creation process, at three important times: preparing the project, drafting the articles of association, and the creation formalities. Sometimes, the proposed solutions will correspond to paid support, especially when it comes to business formation formalities.

Preparing for your company formation

First of all, you can benefit from valuable assistance in your business creation process by getting support from an experienced entrepreneur, or from a loved one who knows the intricacies of the entrepreneurial journey. It is never useless to share your business creation project with your loved ones. Their outward gaze can be beneficial on many levels.

Then, there are many networks and organizations to help with business creation. Very often, you have the possibility of meeting an adviser free of charge to make a point.

Concerning the financial arrangement of the project, the search for financing, and the eligibility for possible financial aid, we recommend that you first make an appointment with a few banks. Professional advisers will normally be able to help you with this. In addition, they will be aware of local business start-up support schemes, which you may be eligible for.

Drafting your company’s articles of association

Concerning the drafting of the statutes of your company, you have several possibilities to be assisted in this work. We will look at three options: the accountant, the lawyer, and the online business creation services.

First of all, your chartered accountant can perfectly accompany you in the drafting of your company statutes. This professional has the appropriate skills to register a sole proprietorship, as well as companies with several partners without legal complexity.

Then, you also have the possibility of being accompanied by a lawyer in business law. This professional can handle all cases of company creation, from the simplest to the most complicated. Moreover, if your project brings together several partners and there are important issues (financial, legal, etc.), we advise you to go through a lawyer.

The formalities of the creation and registration of the company

Apart from drafting the articles of association of your company, you will also have to manage all the other formalities to achieve its registration in the trade and companies register.

In principle, all the solutions offered for drafting your articles of association are also valid here. A chartered accountant or a lawyer can take care of all your steps until the registration of your company.
