Financing your business with URSSAF
Discover the exemptions and reductions in social security contributions linked to starting a business, employment and certain sectors. Check the official conditions.
Introduction
Urssaf collects social security contributions and provides information and simulators on the applicable exemptions. The schemes associated with this funder mainly consist of contribution reductions, exemptions and social rules: not all of them are grants paid to the business.
Which schemes may be relevant?
Depending on the situation: ACRE for certain founders or buyers, general reductions in employer contributions, targeted exemptions (for example JEI or overseas territories), exemptions or specific rules for certain benefits and statuses.
Who can benefit from them?
The conditions depend on the scheme, the legal form, the situation of the director or employee, the remuneration, the location, the activity and sometimes the creation date. Affiliation or a presence in the catalogue is not enough to confirm eligibility.
How do you check your eligibility?
- Precisely identify the scheme. 2. Check the conditions, deadlines and combination rules on the official website. 3. Use the simulator or contact Urssaf if necessary. 4. Keep the supporting documents and apply the scheme according to the reporting rules in force.
How can Capital OS help?
Capital OS helps identify social and tax schemes associated with a business and its needs. The result is a lead to verify: it is neither a decision by Urssaf nor a confirmation of entitlement.
FAQ
