French online legal formalities platform: company formation (from €0 according to the vendor, online quote for details), amendments (from €149 excl. VAT), closure (from €199 excl. VAT), accounting (from €49 excl. VAT per month), document templates from €0 excl. VAT and free practical guides.

A form that generates articles of association or a contract template is easy to build. But what you pay for is the handling of the procedure (filing, follow-up, correction if rejected) and a lawyer's opinion. A mistake in articles of association only shows years later. For a simple formality, the public one-stop shop makes the same filing without a service fee; for a complex case, human support is the product.

What you lose
