Small business finance software
A list of suppliers that are a good fit for small businesses in France.
What to consider
- Do you need to take card payments? Look for integration with systems like Stripe (more professional) and Paypal (OK for consumers).
- Will you need to be VAT registered? Will the software handle this?
- Do you need to invoice in multiple currencies? Will the software help to do the conversion for your declarations?
- Does the software automatically support the legal requirements for French invoices, or will you need to do extra configuration work?
- Will the software email invoices automatically?
- Will it help you handle payment reminders?
- Will it produce a devis for your prospective customers?
- Do you need someone to hold your hand as you work through the French systems?
- If it's free, how is the software funded?
