Its success cannot be denied.
If business creation has been breaking records for several years, it is thanks to auto-entrepreneurs.
“They have represented two-thirds of creations for almost 10 years,”
observes Alain Bosetti, president of the SME Online fair, a permanent virtual fair for entrepreneurs.

In 2020, out of 848,000 new activities, 548,000 were microenterprises according to the official name.
The trend remains the same in 2021 despite the crisis.
A springboard
The statute remains criticized as a form of disguised wage earning used by platforms of VTC drivers or bicycle delivery men.
“If we disregard the delivery men,
analyzes Alain Bosetti,
the dynamism of self-entrepreneurship is the sign of the development of pluriactivity among the French. Little by little, they take a liking to business creation. "
With self-entrepreneurship, they can get started without risk, while remaining employed while they test their market.
It is also a springboard for a retraining.
According to a 2018 INSEE study,
“creators whose activity as micro-entrepreneurs is not that of their main profession are now in the majority: at the time of their registration, 57% have a profession different from the activity that they exercise as a micro-entrepreneur. "
Capped turnover
The authorized turnover is capped at 176,200 euros for product sales activities and 72,600 for craft and service activities.
These are therefore low volume activities.
But they must be approached like any other business. Which are the errors to avoid ? How to find its customers? How to build your business? How to manage it? These themes will be discussed this Tuesday, June 22 as part of the Live Day of the SME Online Fair, in partnership with
Le Figaro entrepreneurs
