Entrepreneurship is the action of starting a business. More generally, entrepreneurship is defined as the entire process of discovery, evaluation and exploitation linked to entrepreneurial action.

France saw 554,000 businesses created in 2016, an increase of 6% over the previous year. These figures are the result of various measures put in place in recent years by the government to encourage the creation of businesses.

Creating a company in France requires the fulfillment of a certain number of administrative formalities (SIRET number, APE code, TVA number …).
