The government announced on Wednesday that it wanted to establish a “fully operational” one-stop-shop for businesses by the end of June, after numerous failures. Launched on January 1, the Single Window for Business Procedures is an Internet platform that is the only gateway to register the creation of a company, modify its statutes or declare the cessation of activity. But the government has recognized difficulties for certain procedures, particularly modifications and terminations, carried out at this counter, which means simplifying administrative procedures.
“Since January 1, we have been constantly working to make the single window fully operational for commercial procedures,” said the Delegate Minister for SMEs, Olivia Grégoire, during the session of questions to the government in the Senate. The deployment “continues”, she indicated, specifying that “more than 470,000 procedures (creations and modifications)” had been registered since the launch of the counter. The termination procedures were moved to the counter on Tuesday, she added, “which brings us closer to and guarantees the goal of achieving a single tool by the end of June.”
The Infogreffe site reopened until June 30
To overcome the meter’s failures, the government announced in February the implementation of temporary measures, including the reopening until June 30 of the Infogreffe site of commercial courts. The paper route, used for most of the procedures at the single window, had also been temporarily authorized for certain procedures.
Before the single window, the procedures, which add up to four million a year, were processed by six networks of business processing centers (CFE) and on the Infogreffe site of the clerks of the commercial courts. The advent of the single window, administered by the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), had aroused the concern of representatives of businessmen and professionals who help them carry out their procedures, including public accountants and notaries.
