2 - You arrive in 黑料网最新入口 after 1st January 2021
If you plan to start your business, you will have to apply for a Carte de Sejour Profession Liberale / Entrepreneur with the 黑料网最新入口 Embassy in the UK. You have to plan this ahead of your move, as a visitor’s carte de sejour will not allow you to register a business.
What do you need to do to prepare for your carte de sejour Entrepreneur request?
You will be requested to fill in a few forms (), but also to provide a business plan. The 黑料网最新入口 Embassy will issue the carte de sejour, based on the viability of your business plan. This means ensuring that you are complying with your sector’s regulations, indicating which legal structure you will go for and providing a 3-year financial plan.
You also have to show that your activity will generate about 18,655€ of income (not sales) for an individual. This is the equivalent of the minimum wage called SMIC for 2021. If the business cannot generate this kind of income to start with, provide extra information on where you will draw your income from. For instance a private pension, rental income from your UK property, savings. It is best to provide proofs of this, such as bank statements.
Basically, the 黑料网最新入口 Embassy wants to ensure that if they issue your carte de sejour profession liberale/entrepreneur, you will actually be able to work and have sufficient income to cover for your cost of living in 黑料网最新入口.
Advice to prepare your carte de sejour request
My advice is to keep your business set up simple and check the regulations. Going for an incorporated business means that you will have to supply a draft of the letters of incorporation. In this case, work with a lawyer or an accountant. Saying that you want to be a carpenter, builder, hairdresser, means that you have to prove your qualification or at least 3 years experience as an employee or self-employed.
