Distribution of companies created in France 2012-2018, by legal status
This diagram reveals the distribution of companies created in France between 2012 and 2018, by legal form. It displays that despite non single-person LLCs (French: SARL) being the majority of new businesses created from 2012 to 2015, in France, their proportion has steadily declined to become the second most common legal form among new companies. Simplified joint-stock companies with a sole partner (French: SAS unipersonnelles) accounted for 37 percent of business creations in 2018.
