A single gateway reduces travel, but it cannot repair an inconsistent file. DirectEntreprise currently displays five service families: reserve a trade name, form a business, amend it, file acts and validate data. The gain comes from rigorous preparation and archiving every result, not rapid typing.

A clean digital file
- Choose the right entrepreneur or professional profile.
- Define who enters, signs and pays.
- Prepare a master identity sheet.
- Name and version every attachment.
- Check consistency and legibility before submission.
- Track requests and supplements from the account.
- Download receipts, decisions and final records.
- Compare the result with operating data.
1. Choose the service and owner
Do not start formation if the real event is an amendment or act filing.
| Displayed service | Use | Starting question |
|---|---|---|
| Reserve my trade name | negative certificate | new identity or change? |
| Form my business | formation and connected formalities | form, founders and activity validated? |
| Amend my business | post-formation event | final decision and attachments? |
| File my acts | transmit relevant acts | correct register and event? |
| Validate my data | requested control or regularisation | which official source controls? |
The portal also provides spaces for professionals and future entrepreneurs. If an agent acts, formalise authority and keep the entrepreneur able to inspect the file.
2. Prepare offline before entry
Create a working directory with a simple naming convention.
- Write the master sheet: name, form, activity, seat, founders and officers.
- Collect legible identity and evidence.
- Finalise articles, decisions and address evidence.
- Check dates, signatures, capital and allocations.
- Export PDFs in requested format and size.
- Mark every draft as not for filing.
- Perform cross-review before sign-in.
Avoid editing a PDF during entry without updating the master version. That is how two address variants enter one file.
3. Enter with an audit trail
Record the file identifier and status after each milestone.
| Moment | Useful record | Do not |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | number and selected service | share the password |
| Submission | summary, attachments and receipt | assume sending equals approval |
| Supplement | request, response and new version | overwrite the rejected attachment |
| Validation | decision and downloadable records | keep only a screenshot |
Respond from the exact reason. A name refusal, illegible attachment and inconsistent act need different corrections.
“Sent” is not “created”
Wait for decisions and final records. A submitted, paid or pending request proves neither registration nor permission to operate.
4. Control the administrative result
OMPIC announced nationwide electronic-formation rollout from 14 March 2025 with connected administrations and bodies. Integrated transmission does not remove the need to check each result.
- Identity: name, form and address
- Register: number and entries
- Tax/social: their own notifications
- Activity: permissions and conditions
Compare negative certificate, RC, ICE, IF/TP, CNSS where applicable, notices and permissions. Note any missing or different data and open correction with the responsible channel.
5. Move from file to operations
Do not configure a company from entered form fields; use final records.
- Create the entity record from evidence.
- Attach each validated establishment.
- Configure users and permissions.
- Test a sales document.
- Keep a link to the administrative file.
BelloPOS starts where administrative formation ends: sales, inventory, tills and teams. It does not submit DirectEntreprise or guarantee that a formality was accepted.
Mistakes to avoid
- Choosing the wrong service.
- Leaving the agent as sole account holder.
- Filing an unsigned draft.
- Overwriting a rejected attachment.
- Keeping only screenshots.
- Configuring operations from entered fields.
