Business in France

World football champion and tourist destination par excellence, France is very popular at the moment. But when it comes to entrepreneurship, where are we? The purpose of this article is to take stock of the situation. I will try to stay as objective as possible.

France world champion

World champion on taxes and social charges. Everyone is affected by social charges, whether on the side of the employer or the employee who has his gross salary cut. With a high labor cost in France and very high social charges, it is difficult for an employer to establish itself in a competitive market.

France encourages employees

Go ask the bank for a bank loan if you do not have 3 years of positive balance sheets. I'll give you the brush. Are you an entrepreneur and want to find accommodation? It can be complicated. We prefer to rent it to a person with a CDI, it is safer. When you are an employee, you contribute for unemployment, for retirement. We have paid leave, sick leave, mutual insurance and the French health system. Entrepreneurs don't have as much security.

Structures for entrepreneurs

On the other hand at this level frankly it is not what is missing. More than 1,000 incubators exist to date with numerous support mechanisms for entrepreneurs both in terms of funding and support. Moreover, we can often be confused about the legal aspects and at this level also many solutions exist.

My personal opinion

Nothing beats entrepreneurship for my taste. The grass is always greener elsewhere. I think that overall in France we are quite well off. Indeed there is a lot to say about the system and the aberrations it contains. I am the first to criticize it. But today we can ensure that we do not - too much - suffer it. Today we have the internet, that changes everything. 20 years ago it was not the same.

That said, I do not have the same constraints as a boss who has employees to pay and significant charges. There are certain industries that are more affected than others. The first that come to mind are farmers, but the list goes on.

Entrepreneurship, particularly in France, is a subject that I really wanted to broach. At the time of this writing, it is the end of 2019, but I intend to expand it over time, while adding my personal experience and my thoughts on the subject. I would especially like to study the contrast with other countries. The differences in mentality, the relationship to money and success in general.

And you?

It's super interesting to have other personal feedback and that's also why I wanted to deal with the subject. I hope that over time there will be some feedback from entrepreneurs who can testify to their experience or react to certain elements of this article.
