Starting a business can be an exciting journey, but it also comes with a fair share of uncertainty. Between navigating legal formalities, choosing the right business structure, and staying compliant with tax regulations, new entrepreneurs often face steep learning curves. That’s where Indy comes in—a modern accounting and administrative solution designed specifically for self-employed professionals. But Indy goes even further by offering free, personalized support through its business creation specialists.
In this article, we’ll explore how Indy supports aspiring entrepreneurs at every step of the business creation process, why this service is so valuable, and how you can take full advantage of it without paying a cent.
Understanding Indy: Accounting Made Simple for the Self-Employed
Before diving into Indy’s business creation assistance, let’s take a moment to understand what Indy is all about.
Indy is an all-in-one platform that simplifies accounting, invoicing, tax declarations, and administrative tasks for freelancers, solopreneurs, and independent contractors. Its intuitive interface and automation features remove the technical complexity that often overwhelms self-employed professionals. Whether you’re a graphic designer, consultant, or yoga instructor, Indy helps you manage your business finances with ease.
But Indy isn’t just a tool—it’s also a support system. The company recognizes that getting started is one of the hardest parts of becoming self-employed, which is why it offers a standout feature: free business creation support.
The Challenge of Starting a Business
Creating a business involves a lot more than just having a good idea or a skill set. New entrepreneurs must tackle:
- Choosing the right legal structure (micro-enterprise, EURL, SASU, etc.)
- Registering their business with the appropriate government body
- Understanding tax and social contribution obligations
- Creating legally compliant invoices and contracts
- Learning how to manage accounting from day one
For many, these tasks are intimidating. Making a mistake during setup can have long-lasting consequences, from fines to administrative headaches. That’s why having access to a knowledgeable, real person who can guide you through the process for free is such a game-changer.
Meet Indy’s Business Creation Specialists
Indy’s business creation specialists are experienced professionals who assist future entrepreneurs in setting up their businesses the right way from the beginning. They are not bots or generic helpdesk agents—they are real people trained in business formation, particularly within the French micro-enterprise system (auto-entrepreneur).
What They Help With:
- Choosing the Right Status
Unsure whether to register as a micro-entrepreneur or opt for another status? Specialists help you weigh the pros and cons based on your income expectations, profession, and growth plans. - Completing Administrative Formalities
From filling out forms on the official auto-entrepreneur website to navigating INSEE or URSSAF registration, specialists guide you every step of the way. - Understanding Your Obligations
You’ll get a clear explanation of your tax and social security obligations, invoicing rules, and deadlines—without the jargon. - Integrating with the Indy Platform
Once your business is registered, the specialist helps you link your professional bank account and start using Indy’s tools for accounting, invoicing, and tax declarations.
And the best part? It’s all completely free.
Why Is This Support Free?
Offering high-quality, personalized support at no cost might seem too good to be true. But it makes perfect sense when you understand Indy’s business model.
Indy’s goal is to make self-employment accessible and sustainable. By helping entrepreneurs start off on the right foot, they increase the chances that these users will stay independent long-term—and choose Indy as their go-to platform for managing their finances.
It’s a win-win situation:
- You get expert help for free.
- Indy builds trust and long-term customer relationships.
There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. You only start paying when you decide to use Indy’s accounting features, and even that comes at a very reasonable cost with a monthly or yearly subscription. And the free support is available whether or not you choose to subscribe.
Step-by-Step: How Indy’s Free Business Creation Support Works
Ready to get started? Here’s how Indy’s free support process works:
1. Contact a Specialist
Begin by visiting Indy’s website and booking a free consultation with a business creation specialist. You can usually schedule a phone call or chat session.
2. Share Your Project Details
During the session, the specialist will ask about your professional goals, the type of work you plan to do, and your financial expectations. This helps them tailor their advice.
3. Get Personalized Guidance
Based on your responses, they’ll recommend the best legal structure and walk you through the registration process. If you’re registering as a micro-entrepreneur in France, they’ll guide you directly through the official online forms.
4. Receive Confirmation and Next Steps
Once your registration is confirmed by the government (typically within a few days), you’ll receive your SIRET number and official business documentation.
5. Start Using Indy
Your specialist will then help you connect your professional bank account to Indy’s platform and show you how to start invoicing, tracking expenses, and preparing tax returns.
Who Can Benefit?
Indy’s free business creation support is particularly valuable for:
- New freelancers and consultants
Those starting their first independent business and unsure of how to begin. - Side-hustlers
Employees or students who want to test out self-employment without diving in full time. - Creative professionals
Designers, artists, writers, and coaches who prefer to focus on their craft, not paperwork. - Non-French speakers living in France
Expats who need guidance navigating the French administrative system.
Even if you’ve already started the registration process, Indy specialists can help correct mistakes or clarify doubts.
