Setting up an Sàrl or SA: why go through a notary

To set up an Sàrl or SA, Fri Up recommends going through a notary. Deed of incorporation, articles of association, shareholders' agreement: the notary provides legal certainty for the birth of your company.

The notary's role in setting up your company

The notary draws up your company's deed of incorporation and articles of association, and can also draft a partners' agreement (for an Sàrl) or shareholders' agreement (for an SA). This often-neglected document governs relations between the founders and can prevent many future conflicts: a partner leaving, transfer of shares, decision-making...

A one-stop shop to the commercial register

When setting up the Sàrl or SA, the notary can also register your company with the Commercial Register Office. You save time and make sure the file is complete and compliant.
