Project news Meeting with a lawyer
While Flouzo isn't yet a legal entity, and while we still aren't sure we will do it, I'm already not a "unemployed" person in regards to the local employment agency. I am "creating a company". Wow, but this is just a way to kick me out of unemployment statistics - and using a title to make it look nicer reminds me of some technics used in the MMORPG industry... Anyway, since the beginning of the month, I have the great joy of being able to taste the company creation procedure, and I'm discovering this brave new world made of papers and forms.
To be honest, it's not as bad as it looks. People follow what you do, and you are told what you need to do. There are five meetings at an advising center, in addition to visists to the local government work department to get "advising checks" and the ACRE form, and to lawyers and accountants.
Yesterday, it was a meeting with a lawyer. The advising checks, which allows to see lawyers and accountants for a small price, only let you use a limited list of accredited profesionnals. I wasn't convinced this would be enough for Flouzo, given its unusual nature and legal complexity, but given the small price (12.50€ an hour, instead of 100-300€ an hour), it was worth the try. And as expected, a good number of issues quickly appeared.
