Business plan & evidence file
Entrepreneur / Profession Libérale Visa Kit
For freelancers, consultants and independent professionals moving their work to France. The question the administration asks is simple: is this activity real, and will it support you? This kit helps you answer it with a business plan built in the order it's read, a cover letter that summarises it, and a guide to the figures that actually count.
What's inside
Business plan template
A complete plan structured in the order an examiner reads it: the business and its services, why France, your background and track record, the market, with analysis tables, competitor benchmarks and research, then income to date, three-year projections, financing, cash flow and profitability, expenses, and the practical French registration and insurance set-up. Modelled on a plan that was accepted, with guidance on what to keep and what to delete.
Cover letter template
A one-to-two-page letter to the consulate that summarises your plan without ever contradicting it: your activity, the evidence that it works, your personal financial means set out in a clear table, your ties to France, accommodation, insurance, your undertakings and the list of enclosures. Includes an optional block for families applying together.
Plain-English user guide
What the administration verifies and how, recent changes that affect your timeline and the way your income is assessed, the features that make a business plan convincing, how to use both documents, what to do in your first weeks after arrival and ahead of renewal, and a final checklist.
The business plan and cover letter are written in English, which is accepted for this route. The guide explains when a French version can help.
A glimpse of the files
What makes this file convincing
The kit is built around the questions an examiner brings to a self-employed file, and helps you answer each one with evidence rather than ambition.
Real activity
Lead with what already exists (clients, income, demand) so viability reads as a fact, not a forecast.
Grounded numbers
Projections built line by line from your real figures, presented the way your income is actually assessed.
One consistent story
Every figure identical across the plan, the letter and your bank evidence, down to the euro.
