French Business Transfer Notification Form

Transferring a business in France requires meticulous attention to regulatory compliance, employee rights, and proper notification to authorities including URSSAF, INSEE, and tax offices. This French Business Transfer Notification Form streamlines the entire process, ensuring you capture all the critical information needed to complete a compliant business transfer (cession de fonds de commerce or cession de parts sociales).

Whether you're a legal professional, accountant, business broker, or company owner managing a transfer, this template helps you document seller and buyer information, detail transferred assets, confirm employment continuity obligations under French labour law, and prepare the necessary regulatory filings—all in one structured workflow.

The form covers essential French business transfer requirements including SIRET and SIREN numbers, asset valuation for registration tax calculations, employee transfer declarations under Article L. 1224-1 of the French Labour Code, and preparation for mandatory filings with the Centre de Formalités des Entreprises (CFE), URSSAF for social security notifications, and Service des Impôts des Entreprises (SIE) for tax purposes.

With conditional logic built in, the form adapts based on business type, asset categories, and whether employees are being transferred, ensuring you only collect relevant information. This reduces errors, speeds up processing, and helps both parties meet their legal obligations during the transition period.

For law firms and advisory practices managing multiple transfers, this template can be connected to your practice management system using Stepper to automatically create case files, generate document checklists, notify relevant team members, and track filing deadlines across multiple jurisdictions and authorities.

Paperform makes it simple to create professional, compliant forms that reflect your firm's branding while handling complex French regulatory requirements. Collect structured data, generate confirmation emails in French, and integrate seamlessly with your existing tools to keep business transfer workflows organized and efficient.
