Closing a SASU: Legalstart alternatives and costs
Informational guide. An independent qualified legal review has not been completed.
When closing a solvent SASU, compare the service actually supplied rather than a starting price: documents, filings, publications, follow-up and handling of difficulties. Administrative and tax costs do not disappear with an online service. Official filing, a paid provider and preliminary document review serve different needs. Julie can help understand and prepare documents; it does not carry out closure formalities.

Is an excluding-VAT price the final amount payable?
No. The total depends on applicable VAT and additional charges and options. A “from” price must remain identified as such.

Start with the practical sectionWhich service are you buying for the SASU closure?
This comparison helps select a service for closing a solvent SASU. Start with scope: dissolution, liquidation, removal, notices and follow-up. Micro-enterprise removal is not a company-closure service. Disputes and insolvency require separate analysis.

What should you compare across Legalstart, alternatives and official filing?
Compare the actual service and who performs each step. The official portal is a filing route rather than an equivalent assisted-service package. Julie helps prepare and review but does not submit these formalities.

How do you compare quotes with the same scope?
The comparator converts service amounts to a stated tax-inclusive basis and adds only other charges marked known. It compares totals only when both scopes and all amounts are documented. An unknown field is never replaced by zero.

What does an advertised €249 excluding VAT service show?
At 20% VAT in the illustrative quote, €249 excluding VAT becomes €298.80 for the service alone. Add or confirm notices, filing charges, options and other services. The entered rate must come from the relevant quote; the tool does not decide applicable VAT.
Observed on Legalstart's tariff page on 14 October 2026: Standard dissolution-liquidation from €249 excluding VAT and administrative costs. At 20% VAT in the illustrated quote, the service alone is €298.80 including VAT; other fees and options still need confirmation.

Where can preliminary review help without filing?
Before purchasing, have accounts, debts, decisions and useful documents examined. A SASU with a corporate sole shareholder may fall within universal transfer of assets under its framework: do not automatically choose ordinary liquidation. Julie can prepare questions and review records while submission remains separately arranged.
- Request a detailed tax-inclusive quote and exact scope.
- Identify exclusions, options and correction handling.
- Have the closure regime checked before payment.

What else should you check?
Is an excluding-VAT price the final amount payable?
No. The total depends on applicable VAT and additional charges and options. A “from” price must remain identified as such.
Does a micro-business closure offer apply to a SASU?
No. A micro-enterprise and SASU have different formalities and packages. Verify the service category.
Does administrative assistance replace advice about a dispute?
No. Administrative processing is not advice on disputes or insolvency. The quote must specify the mission.
Does a corporate sole shareholder always use ordinary liquidation?
Not necessarily. Universal transfer of assets requires examination under the conditions applicable to a corporate sole shareholder.
Does Julie send the filing to the official portal?
No. Julie helps prepare and review; it does not submit the file to the official portal from this page.
