Hey bunqers 🌈,
When opening your Business account in France, we might request you to provide us with the Articles of Association (in French: "statuts de la société" or “statuts constitutifs”) of your business.
The “statuts” are the Articles of Association, the foundational legal document that defines the rules, structure, and governance of a French company. They are mandatory for creating any formal business entity.
What does the Articles of Associations contain?
Company name (raison sociale)
Legal form (SARL, SAS, SA, etc.)
Business purpose (objet social)
Registered office address
Capital amount and shareholder contributions
Governance rules (e.g., director powers, shareholder meetings)
Duration of the company
