⚠️THE CATCH
A plan to double the dividend tax to 10% was dropped from the 2026 budget. If you actively manage your company, expect ~€1.9k/yr of social security on top.
🧾EXIT TAX
You own 100%, so France's exit tax on your shares applies. Moving within the EU, it's deferred automatically. It's wiped if you keep your shares 2 years after leaving (5 if they're worth over €2.57M).

THE OTHER COLUMN

What you keep by staying.

The board only counts tax. Here's the part that doesn't fit in a spreadsheet.

🩺
Healthcare

Public health insurance that doesn't care how your MRR is doing.

🧪
R&D tax credits

CIR / CII and JEI status can claw back a real chunk of what you spend building.

🏦
Bpifrance

Grants and loans for founders that most countries simply don't have.

🎒
Schools

Free public schools and near-free universities, if kids are in the plan.

👨‍👩‍👧
Your people

Family, friends and Sunday lunches don't fit in a spreadsheet.

🥖
The bread

Find a better €1.30 croissant. We'll wait.
