Business leaders must carefully follow a number of administrative procedures when they decide to set up a company. Once all the formalities have been completed and the company has been registered with the Trade and Companies Register (RCS), the entrepreneur will receive a Kbis statement. Upon receipt of this document, his company is officially constituted.
