Add an additional activity to that already performed by the business

Verified 08 January 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

The addition of activity consists of add additional activity to that or those already exercised by the business. This can allow you to meet your customers' demand, adapt to the market or even strengthen an existing business.

The formalities to be carried out differ according to the wording of the object of the company in the statutes.

Where the object of the company is drafted in a sufficiently broad manner for the added activity to fall within the scope of the latter, there is no no need to change statuses.

Example :

If the object of your hairdresser calls for “mixed hairstyle” and you were until now positioned on the female hairstyle, you can quite extend your field of activity to male hairstyle without having to modify your social object.

You must make the declaration on the website of the company formalities office.

When reporting, you must submit the supporting documents following:

  • In case of addition of a regulated activity : document justifying the authorization or application to carry out this activity
  • If the addition of activity follows a purchase of goodwill: copy of the deed of purchase of the goodwill recorded at the company Tax Office (SIE)

If the object of the company is not written broadly enough for the added activity to fall within the scope of the latter, you must perform a alteration of the objects of the company business.

Example :

If the business purpose of your restaurant is to "eat-in and take-out", you can only add a hotel or food business by making a statutory amendment.
