Questions to ask yourself
How many partners? How much capital? Should the capital be opened to investors? What liability will the partners accept? What status for the executive? The answers point to one form rather than another.
The most common forms
The SARL, or single-member SARL, suits most SMEs: liability limited to contributions and simple operation. The SA is for larger projects or those intending to open their capital. The SAS offers great freedom in the articles. The SNC involves unlimited liability for the partners.
What is at stake in the articles
Executive powers, rules for transferring shares, admission of new partners, profit sharing: well-drafted articles prevent most future conflicts. A shareholders’ agreement usefully complements the articles.
