Swapn (création) Promo Code

Swapn is a French legaltech company founded in 2013 and registered with the Order of Chartered Accountants, built around a concept that is quite radical for the industry: enabling any entrepreneur to incorporate a company for free, without compromising on the quality of support. The platform targets founders of SASUs, EURLs, SASs, and SARLs, with a promise of responsiveness and expert advice that purely automated solutions generally cannot deliver.

Business formation has always been at the heart of our service. Swapn handles all administrative procedures: drafting and submitting the articles of incorporation within 24 hours, publishing the legal notice, guaranteeing that the registry will not reject the filing, registering with the Guichet Unique, obtaining the Kbis certificate, and registering with relevant agencies based on the business activity. A dedicated advisor manages the case from start to finish and can be reached by phone, email, and chat. The average time between the initial contact and receipt of the Kbis certificate is approximately ten days for a sole proprietorship.

One distinctive feature is the advisory support provided before any formal process begins. Swapn requires a free 30-minute phone or video call during which an expert reviews the project and guides the entrepreneur toward the legal structure best suited to their situation. This is no small matter: most competing platforms let users choose their legal status on their own via an online form, without any human interaction. Swapn rejects this model, relying on the fact that its registration with the Order of Chartered Accountants legally entitles it to provide this advice.

Swapn also offers an online legal status simulator that allows users to generate a projection of the various possible tax regimes in just a few minutes, based on estimated income and expenses. Simulators for calculating social security contributions and other expenses are also freely available on the platform, making it a useful starting point even for those who are not yet ready to start their own business.

Accounting is the second core offering. The Swapn Compta software, integrated with Tiime tools, handles monthly bookkeeping, automated VAT filings, invoicing, expense report management, and real-time bank synchronization with over 200 banks. Each receipt can be scanned via photo and is legally admissible as evidence. Accountants are available via chat and email to answer questions throughout the year.

The annual financial statement is available as an optional service, prepared and certified by a certified public accountant, including the calculation and electronic filing of the tax return directly with the tax authorities. For self-employed professionals under the BNC regime, this service is included in the monthly subscription at no additional cost.

Finally, Swapn relies on an ecosystem of carefully selected partners, including Tiime for business bank accounts and management tools, as well as partners for registered office services, professional liability insurance, and contract drafting. These services are offered with no obligation; entrepreneurs remain free to choose their own service providers at all times.

• Truly free business setup, with no hidden fees and genuine personal support: The fact that setup is free is not just an empty marketing claim. Swapn charges no fees for consulting, case management, or drafting articles of incorporation. Only mandatory legal fees are the entrepreneur’s responsibility (legal notice, registry fees), and Swapn even offers to cover these upfront during the process. Where competing platforms charge between €150 and €400 for equivalent services, Swapn maintains this free model by monetizing through additional services subsequently purchased by some of its clients. For a founder watching their startup budget, the difference is significant.

• A dedicated human advisor, not a form: What truly sets Swapn apart from most legaltech companies is its refusal to leave entrepreneurs to fend for themselves with an online interface. The consultation appointment is mandatory—and it’s voluntary. Choosing between an SASU and an EURL, or deciding whether incorporating is truly worth it compared to remaining a micro-enterprise, are decisions with tax and social security implications that last for years. Having an accountant on the phone to discuss these matters, before even paying anything, is an added value that neither Legalplace nor Legalstart offers in their standard model.

• One of the highest customer satisfaction ratings on the market: With over 760 Google reviews averaging a 4.9/5 rating, Swapn clearly stands out from its direct competitors, whose ratings range from 4.2 to 4.5. Customer feedback consistently highlights the responsiveness of the advisors, the clarity of communication, and the absence of unpleasant surprises throughout the process. For a service involving the creation of a legal entity, operational reliability is of real value.

• One of the most competitive accounting rates on the market for service companies: For €29 per month (excluding tax), in combination with the Tiime business account, Swapn offers accounting services handled by professionals registered with the Order, including VAT, bank synchronization, invoicing, and access to accountants via chat. This is significantly cheaper than traditional online accounting firms and comparable to self-service software, but with the added benefit of integrated human support. The annual financial statement, starting at €199 (excl. tax), remains affordable, especially when compared to the fees charged by a traditional accounting firm for an equivalent service.

• Registration with the Order of Certified Public Accountants, a mark of professionalism and accountability: This membership means that Swapn is subject to strict ethical standards, that its advice has a solid legal basis, and that entrepreneurs benefit from a level of protection far superior to that offered by online business creation platforms that are not recognized accounting firms.

• This accounting software is intended solely for service-based businesses with annual revenue of less than 100,000 euros: It is important to be aware of this limit before committing. Swapn Compta was designed for entrepreneurs small service companies, not for commercial entities with inventory management, complex multi-partner structures, or operations exceeding this threshold. An IT consultant or service provider will be perfectly suited to this solution, but a retailer with high transaction volumes or a rapidly growing business may find themselves outgrowing it and needing to migrate to another solution before long.

• The lack of payroll and inventory management modules: For a company that is starting to hire—even just one employee—Swapn does not cover payroll management. You will need to use additional payroll software or hire an external service provider, which negates the initial cost advantage. Similarly, any business involving inventory management cannot rely on Swapn for this aspect.

• No external API is available on any plan : For entrepreneurs who want to connect their accounting to other business tools (CRM, ERP, specific invoicing tools, etc.), the lack of an external API is a real obstacle. This isn’t an issue for the vast majority of micro-entrepreneurs or small service-based SASUs, but it can become a major obstacle for an organization looking to scale its processes or integrate Swapn into a broader ecosystem of tools.

• Access to the accounting software is contingent upon setting up your business through Swapn: If you have already incorporated your company through another channel and simply wish to use the accounting software, access to the preferential rate and full service is not guaranteed under the same terms. This link between the two offerings may be seen as a constraint by entrepreneurs who are already registered and looking to switch accounting solutions.

Swapn structures its offerings around two main pricing plans, both of which are contract-free.

Setting up a business is completely free, regardless of the legal structure chosen—whether SASU, EURL, SAS, or SARL—including for single-member companies. Only the mandatory legal fees are the entrepreneur’s responsibility. For companies with multiple partners, a fee of 99 euros (excluding tax) applies.

The accounting service operates on a monthly subscription basis with no commitment; details are provided below.

All accounting subscriptions are non-binding. The business startup package is also non-binding and has no hidden fees.
