Application for registration or removal from the URSSAF
When you embark on the adventure of self-employment, the first step is to declare and register your activity with the CFE (Centre de Formalité des Entreprises). This one-stop shop is the gateway between the self-employed and the organizations. There are several CFEs depending on the nature of the activity and the status of the worker:
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry or the Clerk of the Commercial Court (for commercial activities or for the creation of companies)
To the Répertoire des métiers (for craft activities)
In the Special Register of Commercial Agents (for commercial agents)
URSSAF (for the liberal professions and the self-employed)
To register your activity is to inform the administrations of the existence of your activity or company.
It is with this request that you will obtain your SIRET and SIREN numbers, essential to be able to exercise your activity.
Salaries
Generally, the salary is fixed according to the duration of the work. However, depending on certain situations, the salary may be set according to performance or a fixed price.
In all cases, certain rules must be respected:
Minimum salary (SMIC): an employee must be paid a minimum gross monthly amount
The amount of the salary must be in accordance with the collective agreement or agreements
Equal pay for men and women must be respected
A salary should not be discriminated
The salary may also depend on other parameters such as the rules established in a collective agreement or according to a coefficient on hiring an employee.
Company manager
As an entrepreneur, you do not receive a salary in the strict sense of the term. Indeed, you are not an employee of a company, so the rules are different and depend on your situation and your tax system.
There are no rules or obligations in the status of sole proprietorship on the payment of wages. It is therefore up to you to determine a fixed or variable monthly amount depending on your turnover. The most important thing is that your cash flow is positive!
Micro-entrepreneur
Fiscally, the micro-entrepreneur cannot deduct his real expenses for the calculation of his taxable income. The micro-entrepreneur’s remuneration corresponds to his result, which is the difference between his turnover (what he receives from his sales) and the applicable deduction of charges (according to the tax system and the activity carried out – BIC or BNC).
VDI
As far as the VDI is concerned – Direct Seller – the rules regarding salary are different. Indeed, as a VDI, you do not receive a salary. But you can earn a sum of money that corresponds to :
Commissions on sales and on the follow-up of the structure (sales network) for the VDI agents
The sum of the sales and the commissions on the realized sales for the VDI Buyers / Resellers
