Verified 01 January 2023 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
What applies to you ?
SARL
Business can be managed by one or more natural persons, who may either be members of the members or be a person outside the business.
The head of a SARL is called manager.
He's called majority manager where it has more than 50% shares.
Otherwise, it is called minority manager.
If you are a European national, you can run a business. You must have a valid identity card.
The manager or managers shall be appointed by the partners business at any of the following times:
- Before the writing the statutes by means of a separate document (letter of designation signed by the members)
- When drawing up the statutes
This appointment must be made at a meeting of partners or by means of a written consultation.
The decision has to be made at the majority of shares.
However, if this majority is not reached and if the statutes of the business so provide, the members shall be summoned again and the decision shall be taken by a majority of the number of voters.
Example :
In a business with 5 members, the 100 shares are distributed as follows:
- Partner A owns 49% of shares
- Partner B owns 1% of shares
- Partner C owns 10% of shares
- Partner D owns 20% of shares
- Partner E owns 20% of shares
At the general meeting of the partners deciding on the appointment of the manager(s), partners A and B make the same choice and partners C, D and E all 3 choose another person. The voting report will then be 50% shares against 50% shares. There is no majority of shares.
Thus, at the new assembly convened, the majority that will have to be taken into account is that of the number of voters. If each partner retains his or her choice, then there is a majority of the number voting 2 to 3. The manager will be the person chosen by partners C, D and E.
The manager(s) shall be appointed to the entire life of the business.
But the statutes may provide for a fixed period.
Powers in their dealings with partners
The associates determine the powers of the manager(s) in the statutes of the business.
If you do not have rules in the articles of association, the powers of the manager(s) are as follows:
- In the case of a sole manager, he can pass every management acts in the interest of business.
- In the case of multiple managers, they shall separately have the power to perform all management acts in the interest of the business.
On the other hand, they cannot oppose any operation initiated by one of the managers before it is completed.
The majority manager has more power vis-à-vis the partners.
Indeed, it holds a majority of the shares, allowing it to vote in favor of whatever policies it wishes to pass.
Powers in their dealings with third parties
The manager(s) may act in all circumstances on behalf of the company within the bounds of legality.
They commit business even in the acts they do that do not fall under the purpose of the business.
On the other hand, if the business proves that the third party knew that the act exceeded the social purpose of the business or that the latter could not have been unaware of it, it is not bound by those acts.
Publication of statutes constitutes the proof of that knowledge of the third party.
The associates may decide to limit powers of the manager or managers in the statutes of the business.
However, this limitation does not apply to third parties.
If one or more managers object to the acts of one of them, this has no effect on the third party unless he was aware of this objection.
Other powers
The manager(s) may decide to move the registered office company in France with partner validation in a written consultation or a majority meeting.
They can also change statuses to harmonize them with the law.
Example :
A manager cannot decide to sell books when the business of the business is to sell clothing.
