The Federation of auto-entrepreneurs were critical of the draft law The Mayor, although it alleviates the constraints of the self-employed.

The micro-entrepreneurs have already had a reform in 2018 : the limit of turnover, to which they were entitled before switching to another plan has been doubled. But the government has decided not to stop there. In the draft of the law Covenant, which will be discussed in the special commission of the National Assembly from the 5th of September, it has built-in measures to respond to several claims for a long time.

the menu, the deletion of the requirement to have an internship prior to installation for the craftsmen, the end of the double bank account mandatory, as well as the simplification of the formalities for the creation and termination of activity (one-stop shop for the creation, and write-off automatically in case of lack of revenues for two years). Surprisingly, Grégoire Leclercq, president of the Federation of auto-entrepreneurs (Fedae), does not demonstrate enthusiasm.

Gregory Leclercq : We have actually always said that the SPI issued in the chambers of crafts (CMA), was too long (30 hours, editor’s note), and ill-suited to this audience. Is it really necessary that a self-contractor to be informed about software management, advanced, or of the legal rules regarding accessibility of the premises ? As it costs between 197 and 260 euros, depending on the mac on which it depends. To the extent we see with Covenant to a pendulum swing back : the SPI is purely and simply deleted. One falls into the opposite extreme, so that the issuance of a few tips may still have virtues. If it is no longer mandatory, nobody will of course. To the extent that it would have had to wear, it is an adapted version, leaner, the time of day. History of address in a concise manner the a few points essential to the proper functioning of a micro-enterprise. Today we can follow this kind of quick training within the Association for the right to economic initiative (Adie), or within the network BGE.

The law Covenant exempts micro-entrepreneurs with less than 5 000 euros of revenue to possess a dedicated bank account for their professional activity. Why do you is it not ?

I make you the same response as that for the SPI. A good auto-entrepreneur, for an optimal management of its activity, separates his income and has, therefore, two bank accounts. Why do you want to remove this constraint of common sense, then that the problem is not there. It lies in the fact that the banks require that this second account is a professional, which has a higher cost. Even if you do not advise of your activity, they can see you easily from the mandate for the levy Urssaf. The only positive point of Covenant is that this may finally be shaking the banking world and the evolution of its arbitrary practices, which lead to micro-entrepreneurs, management fee additional.

Create a one-stop shop for the creation is it a good idea ?

Yes, in condition to move towards simplification. We have worked with governments around the redesign of the historical portal lautoentrepreneur.fr, which will end in October. We were a little afraid that Covenant breaks all of these efforts to impose the micro-entrepreneurs to go through another window to be more complex and that lautoentrepreneur.fr disappears.
