    Our take

    Understanding Legalstart.

    Legalstart is online company creation and legal management. Starting at €15/month.

    Practical uses

    • Create a SASU/SAS online from home.
    • Modify headquarters or capital without hiring law firm.
    • Register trademark and create entity on same platform.

    Pros and cons

    What Legalstart does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.

    Pros

    • Only platform with fully free tier in France.
    • Completely online process, no commute.
    • French legal specialists verify filing before registry.
    • Full support: accounting, trademark, future modifications.

    Cons

    • Mandatory legal fees are not included in the listed price.
    • Standard/Premium pricing still above DIY platforms.
    • No strategic legal advice, just filings.
    • Accounting support via external partner (additional cost).

    Legalstart: when it makes sense.

    Legalstart is ideal for French freelancers/SMEs creating online; regulated professions or complex structures prefer traditional law firms.

    Keep if

    You're creating a business in France (SASU, SAS, SARL, etc).. You want a fully online, transparent process.

    Legalstart becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost (€15) is small next to the time it saves you

    Challenge if

    You're creating outside France.. You need strategic legal advice beyond filings.

    Legalstart becomes too expensive when
    • You use it less than once a month
    • A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
