Legal documents required to start a project
As a Supplier, you must upload legal documents on the platform, so that we can validate them and you can start your project. Below are the documents to be uploaded on the platform.
Certificate of incorporation
The Certificate of incorporation is an official document attesting to the legal existence of a business or company in France. To obtain it, go to http://www.infogreffe.fr or ask your Business Formalities Center (Centre de Formalités des Entreprises).
The Certificate of incorporation is an extract from the Trade and Companies Register; it is the only official "identity card" of the company; it is the only document officially attesting to the identity and address of the registered person (individual or legal entity), its activity, as well as the existence or not of collective proceedings initiated against it.
| You need to update your Certificate of incorporation every 6 months. |
Professional liability insurance certificate
The certificate of professional liability insurance is a document issued by an insurer. It certifies that a person is covered by the insurer for damages that they could cause to others while providing a service. To subscribe, you must contact your company's insurance company.
The certificate proves that the insured has civil liability coverage, which means that in the event of damage, an insurance company will take over from them to repair the damage (and therefore pay compensation) that they would have caused by their fault, negligence or carelessness.
| Depending on your contract with your insurer, your certificate may have a variable duration (from a few months to one year). Depending on the expiration date of the document, you will need to update it regularly on the platform to ensure that you are covered for the entire duration of your project. |
Tax certificate
The tax certificate is a document issued by one of the tax services. It is used as a proof of the regularity of the taxpayer's tax situation who requests it.
Companies subject to corporate income tax and VAT can download the tax certificate directly from their online tax account at www.impots.gouv.fr.

A tax certificate is valid for one year, so you must update it on the platform every year. If your company was founded less than a year ago, you do not have a tax certificate. In this case, you can upload a sworn statement on the platform. In this statement, the Director declares that their company has been in existence for less than a year and that they undertake to provide the tax certificate after the end of the first fiscal year. |
Statement of employment
In order to prevent illegal employment, the law of December 31, 1991 created the obligation for all employers to declare the hiring of any employee, regardless of the nature or duration of the contract, by means of a statement of employment.
To obtain this form, go to http://www.urssaf.fr.
Social insurance certificate
The Social insurance certificate is a document that allows you to declare to third parties the compliance of your company with the social security contributions of its managers and employees.
To obtain your this certificate, you can go to http://www.urssaf.fr or ask your social insurance (Urssaf) contact person.
Sworn statement
This is a letter in which the writer and signatory declares that they have not been convicted of any of the offenses referred to in the Labor Code relating to illegal work, the employment of undeclared labor and the offenses of illegal labor lending and bargaining.
