French legaltech for online company formation and ongoing legal and accounting admin, with a 0 EUR formation service fee plus mandatory registry costs.
Decision threshold: budget the mandatory registry fees for your legal structure plus a quote for accounting, since the 0 EUR formation fee doesn't cover either.
About
In practice. What you can do with Legalplace.
LegalPlace forms a French company online, SAS, SARL, SASU, EURL, SCI, auto-entreprise or association, generating the required documents and e-signatures automatically. It also offers a dedicated accountant for VAT and annual accounts, business address domiciliation in Paris, and filings for later changes like a director swap or dissolution.
The formation service fee itself starts at 0 EUR, but mandatory registry fees apply on top and vary by legal structure, and most services beyond the 8.25 EUR/month invoicing software are quote-based. It suits a French founder who wants formation and ongoing admin handled in one place rather than through a lawyer.
Practical uses

Keep if

Our verdict. What to know about Legalplace.
Why this verdict
Average
Added value
A 0 EUR service fee for formation is attractive, but most surrounding services (accounting, domiciliation extras) are quote-based, making total value hard to judge upfront.
Simplicity
Automated document generation and e-signature for company formation suggest a fast first result, but the collected sources don't detail the actual onboarding steps.
Fit for purpose
Covers the stated company-formation and ongoing legal-change services, but accounting support's actual scope is not detailed beyond a general description.
Performance
Covers multiple legal structures, ongoing compliance and administrative changes in one platform, a broad scope for a French legaltech.
Reversibility
Neutral score: data or document portability if a company leaves LegalPlace was not covered by the collected sources.
