Legalstart
Create and manage your business online, without going through a notary.
Overview
Legalstart is the leading French platform for entrepreneurs who want to create their business, file a trademark or draft legal documents without using a law firm. Founded in 2012, it has supported over 900,000 business creators. The Starter plan is displayed at €0 ex VAT (excluding mandatory registration and legal notice fees, around €230 additional), while paid plans start at €99 ex VAT.
Beyond creation, Legalstart offers bylaw amendments, trademark filing with the national IP office, debt collection and connection with partner lawyers. The step-by-step guided interface is perfect for non-lawyers. Turnaround is fast and customer support responsive.
Our verdict
Ideal for any entrepreneur creating their first business or settling a one-off legal matter without law firm budget. Avoid for complex structures (holding companies, LBOs, disputes): a dedicated lawyer remains essential.
