Our SARL °µÍø½ûÇø in France started in 2010 and has the EU Trademark which we bought when we started the SARL. We provide coaching and human resources consultancy services. Recently a French based organisation with the same name, in a similar °µÍø½ûÇø is threatening litigation. We have the trademark but they have been in °µÍø½ûÇø in France much longer.
- Can I change the operating name of the SARL to another name and what are the costs and implications of this?
- The other option would be to close it down (but fees are 1,800 euros) and start the professional independent set-up as I am working alone. Can this be done without penalties?
- Also, which regime has less administrative requirements (paperwork! this seems to be constant with the SARL) as I understand the tax liability for both structures is similar?
- Is there an option to register a DBA, or doing °µÍø½ûÇø as as one can in the USA, where it is simply a matter of filing and online form saying we are now doing °µÍø½ûÇø as another name?
