A sound SARL is prepared before the portal: who owns, manages, contributes, binds the company and exits. Make the economic project, articles, evidence and DirectEntreprise data match. A spelling or address mismatch can slow the file; a vague power rule can block the company long afterwards.
The route
- Validate activity and permissions.
- Identify members and contributions.
- Choose manager and powers.
- Set realistic capital and payment.
- Reserve name and office.
- Draft and sign instruments.
- File through DirectEntreprise.
- Check RC, ICE, tax, notices and CNSS.
- Install accounts and recurring decisions.
1. Close decisions before the file
Hold a meeting where every point ends with a name, amount or rule.
| Block | Decision | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Members | identity, interests, contributions | documents/table |
| Management | person, term, limits | articles/act |
| Capital | amount and payment | bank/acts as applicable |
| Office | address and use | lease/title/domiciliation |
| Activity | object and permits | sector validation |
2. Draft articles that describe the project
Law 5-96 provides the framework; a copied model does not settle choices.
- Precise object without hiding regulated activity.
- Capital, interests and contributions matching evidence.
- Readable management and representation.
- Ordinary and extraordinary decisions.
- Transfer, approval and personal events.
- Year, accounts, result and dissolution.
Have clauses affecting power, conflict, property, funding or exit reviewed.
3. Build the filing pack
The exact list depends on members, contributions, office, manager and activity.
| Family | Check |
|---|---|
| Identity | validity and spelling |
| Name | certificate and beneficiary |
| Office | same address everywhere |
| Acts | signed final versions |
| Capital | suitable evidence |
| Mandate | filer’s authority |
The national service connects OMPIC, local registers, tax, CNSS and publication; it does not repair contradictory decisions.
Do not launch on a filing receipt alone
Check registration, identifiers, post-formation duties and permissions before the relevant operations.
4. Check legal birth
Legal personality is tied to Commercial Register registration. Check name, form, office, activity, manager, capital, RC and ICE before using results.
- File: what was submitted
- Result: what was registered
- Difference: correction requested
- Archive: dated evidence
Handle publication, tax, CNSS and permissions where applicable. Keep receipts and submitted versions.
5. Operate the SARL
Formation is only the first decision.
- Accounts and evidence from first flow.
- Separate account and till.
- Retained member decisions.
- Changes registered and published when needed.
- Contracts signed by authorised people.
- Operating access reviewed on change.
BelloPOS can carry validated identity and separate manager from cashier. It holds no meeting or legal register for you.
Mistakes to avoid
- Interests decided after articles.
- Copied object.
- Divergent address.
- Manager with vague limits.
- Capital confused with cash.
- Post-formation evidence forgotten.
Frequently asked questions
How many members?
A SARL has at least two and Law 5-96 caps it at fifty; with one, it is described as SARL AU.
Minimum capital?
Law 5-96 lets the articles freely set capital; the actual budget still needs funding.
Is DirectEntreprise enough?
It is the official route, but requires accurate decisions, evidence and activity permissions.
When does the company exist?
Legal personality begins upon Commercial Register registration under the applicable framework.
What does BelloPOS configure?
Validated identity, users and operations—never articles or registration.
What to take away
Close members, contributions, power, office and activity before filing. Then check registration and install the evidence that lets the SARL operate.
