Core offering

Espace Auto Entrepreneur is a self-serve online platform that helps French micro-entrepreneurs (auto-entrepreneurs) create, manage, modify and close their micro-enterprises. The offering combines paid administrative formalities services (registration, modification, cessation) with a subscription-based dashboard for ongoing invoicing, accounting, expense tracking, client management, revenue declarations and access to expert human advisors. The platform acts as an independent intermediary that prepares and transmits dossiers to the French e-Procédures (Guichet Unique) portal on behalf of users.

Product overview

Espace Auto-Entrepreneur is a private, for-profit platform — operated by Entrepreneur Europe Limited — that acts as an intermediary between auto-entrepreneurs (French micro-entrepreneurs) and the French public administration. The core offering consists of four paid service tiers: Inscription au régime (€79 + monthly subscription), Modification de situation (€79), Cessation d'activité (€89), and the monthly Suivi d'auto-entreprise subscription (€34.99/month). These services are powered by the Tableau de bord (Dashboard), a centralized online workspace providing invoicing, expense tracking, client management, article catalogues, and document storage. Access to the dashboard is gated behind the Inscription or Suivi subscriptions. Supporting the core services are several sub-branded offerings: La Ruche (educational resource hub), the Blog (expert-authored articles), the Annuaire (freelance directory), Simulateurs de charges (online calculators for contributions and status comparison), and the expert content team (Nos experts). Native iOS and Android mobile apps extend the platform's accessibility. The company also offers dedicated advisor support across all touchpoints. The platform connects to the French government's e-Procédures portal for formalities transmission, and its Urssaf third-party declaration habilitation is currently in progress.
