Your French subsidiary has stopped paying its suppliers, the landlord in Paris is threatening to terminate the lease, URSSAF (the body that collects French social security contributions) has sent a final demand before enforcement, and your accountant writes that the company is probably in cessation des paiements, the French legal term for cash-flow insolvency. You live in London, New York, Dubai or Singapore, you hold the title of president of a SAS (simplified joint-stock company, the flexible French company form most foreign investors choose) or g\u00e9rant (manager) of a SARL (limited liability company), and you wonder whether distance protects you. It does not. French insolvency law applies to the company because its registered office (si\u00e8ge social) is in France, and the personal liability regime applies to you because you direct it, whether you signed every decision in Paris or managed over video calls from abroad. This guide explains, in English and with the exact statutory wording, what French law expects from a director based outside France when the money runs out: how to recognise cessation des paiements, what the forty-five-day filing duty means in practice for someone who is not on site, what the commercial court (tribunal de commerce<\/a>, the court that hears business insolvency cases) does with a redressement judiciaire<\/a> (court-supervised restructuring) or a liquidation judiciaire (court-ordered winding up), and above all what you personally risk through the action for insuffisance d’actif (liability for the shortfall of assets), the faillite personnelle (personal bankruptcy order) and the interdiction de g\u00e9rer (ban on directing or managing companies). It also explains how to defend each of these actions without living in France. If you are still setting up your presence, read our foreign founder setup guide<\/a> on the Kbis registration certificate issued by the greffe (the court registry), VAT registration and the first hire; if your bank has already frozen the account, our guide on refused corporate accounts and the droit au compte procedure<\/a> covers the emergency steps. The question here is narrower and more urgent: the company may already be insolvent, and every week of inaction can become a fault attributed to you. The guidance that follows is of general application: it describes the checks that are useful in any comparable situation and the procedure the court follows, not the outcome of any particular case.<\/p>\n

I. What French Law Expects From a Director Based Abroad When the Cash Runs Out<\/h2>\n

A. How to recognise cessation des paiements and meet the forty-five-day filing duty from abroad<\/h3>\n

French law defines the trigger with one sentence. Article L.631-1 of the Commercial Code<\/a> provides that redressement judiciaire is open to any debtor who, and I quote the exact wording, “est en cessation des paiements”, that is, a debtor who “dans l’impossibilit\u00e9 de faire face au passif exigible avec son actif disponible, est en cessation des paiements”. In plain English for a business reader: a company registered in France is in cessation des paiements when the debts that are due right now exceed the cash and immediately available assets, and neither confirmed credit lines nor payment extensions granted by your creditors bridge the gap, since the same article adds that “Le d\u00e9biteur qui \u00e9tablit que les r\u00e9serves de cr\u00e9dit ou les moratoires dont il b\u00e9n\u00e9ficie de la part de ses cr\u00e9anciers lui permettent de faire face au passif exigible avec son actif disponible n’est pas en cessation des paiements”. Unpaid supplier invoices that you are negotiating, a tax bill covered by a formal payment plan, or a bank overdraft facility that is still confirmed do not by themselves prove insolvency; a pile of enforcement orders, seized bank balances, unpaid wages and social contributions with no realistic payment schedule do. Your accountant’s cash-flow statement and the list of debts due within days are the decisive documents, and you should ask for them in writing every week once tension appears, because a court will later judge what you knew and when you knew it from precisely these papers.<\/p>\n

Once cessation des paiements has occurred, the clock starts for you personally. Article L.631-4 of the Commercial Code<\/a> states, and I quote the exact wording, “L’ouverture d’une proc\u00e9dure de redressement judiciaire doit \u00eatre demand\u00e9e par le d\u00e9biteur au plus tard dans les quarante-cinq jours qui suivent la cessation des paiements s’il n’a pas, dans ce d\u00e9lai, demand\u00e9 l’ouverture d’une proc\u00e9dure de conciliation.” In other words, within forty-five days of the day the company could no longer pay its due debts with available assets, you must file for court protection or request conciliation, a confidential negotiated procedure conducted under the supervision of the president of the commercial court. Conciliation itself is only available to a debtor that “ne se trouvent pas en cessation des paiements depuis plus de quarante-cinq jours”, to quote Article L.611-4 of the Commercial Code<\/a> exactly, so the forty-five-day window is the same on both routes: beyond it, neither a quiet settlement nor a late filing restores the position you were in before. Living abroad changes nothing in this calculation. The filing (d\u00e9claration de cessation des paiements, filed at the greffe of the competent commercial court) can be prepared by a French lawyer and accountant with powers of attorney, signatures collected electronically, and supporting documents sent from wherever you are; courts accept filings made through counsel, and the hearing itself can often be prepared so that your physical presence is limited to what is strictly necessary. What distance does not excuse is ignorance: judges repeatedly hold that a director who receives enforcement notices from URSSAF, the tax administration or a landlord, and watches the bank account stay empty for months, cannot claim to have discovered the insolvency only when the creditor filed. The Paris Court of Appeal confirmed this logic on 5 December 2024 (RG 23\/19226, decision published on courdecassation.fr<\/a>), holding that multiplied unsuccessful recovery measures prove the director knew the situation was seriously impaired. Practical consequence for a foreign-based director: set a written alert procedure with your French accountant now, keep every cash-flow email, and the day the available assets no longer cover due debts, instruct counsel to file or to open conciliation before the forty-five days expire.<\/p>\n

Two traps specific to groups managed from abroad deserve emphasis. First, intra-group current accounts. Many foreign parents fund the French subsidiary through shareholder loans credited to a compte courant d’associ\u00e9 (shareholder current account) and leave large unpaid balances owed by sister companies on the subsidiary’s books. The Saint-Denis Court of Appeal treated exactly this pattern as a management fault in its judgment of 30 April 2025 (RG 24\/00827, discussed in detail below): the director had not collected debts of about 708,882.62 euros owed by companies he also controlled, keeping a loss-making business alive artificially. If your French company is owed money by your other entities, collect it or document precisely why the balance cannot be recovered before a filing; leaving the receivable to rot while social and tax debts pile up reads, in a French courtroom, as choosing to sacrifice the French creditors for the group. Second, late-discovered insolvency backdating. The court fixes a provisional date of cessation des paiements in the opening judgment, and the liquidator may later ask for it to be pushed back up to eighteen months. A filing you believed was within time can therefore be recharacterised as late. Filing early, within days of the cash-flow break rather than at the end of the forty-five-day period, is the only safe strategy, particularly when you manage at a distance and information reaches you with delay.<\/p>\n

B. Redressement or liquidation: what the Paris commercial court decides, and the Paris and Ile-de-France specifics to prepare<\/h3>\n

The two court procedures serve opposite purposes, and the court chooses between them on the basis of one question: is restructuring manifestly impossible. Article L.631-1 of the Commercial Code<\/a> states that “La proc\u00e9dure de redressement judiciaire est destin\u00e9e \u00e0 permettre la poursuite de l’activit\u00e9 de l’entreprise, le maintien de l’emploi et l’apurement du passif”, and it ends with a plan approved by judgment after an observation period, possibly with creditor classes. By contrast, Article L.640-1 of the Commercial Code<\/a> provides, and I quote exactly, “Il est institu\u00e9 une proc\u00e9dure de liquidation judiciaire ouverte \u00e0 tout d\u00e9biteur mentionn\u00e9 \u00e0 l’article L. 640-2 en cessation des paiements et dont le redressement est manifestement impossible”, adding that “La proc\u00e9dure de liquidation judiciaire est destin\u00e9e \u00e0 mettre fin \u00e0 l’activit\u00e9 de l’entreprise ou \u00e0 r\u00e9aliser le patrimoine du d\u00e9biteur par une cession globale ou s\u00e9par\u00e9e de ses droits et de ses biens”. For a foreign shareholder, the practical difference is stark. In redressement, you keep a voice: an administrator may be appointed, but you file a continuation plan, propose debt rescheduling over up to ten years, and can inject new money with priority ranking. In liquidation, you lose control the day judgment is pronounced: a liquidator (liquidateur judiciaire) sells the assets, verifies the claims, pays creditors in statutory order, and reports your management to the court and the public prosecutor. Employees are covered by the AGS (Association pour la gestion du r\u00e9gime de garantie des cr\u00e9ances des salari\u00e9s, the French wage guarantee scheme), which advances unpaid wages and then claims against the estate, so wage arrears do not disappear with the company; they become a privileged claim that deepens the shortfall attributed to late filing.<\/p>\n

If your company’s registered office is in Paris or elsewhere in Ile-de-France, the competent court is the specialised commercial court of the department of the si\u00e8ge social, in practice the Paris commercial court for Paris-registered companies, with its dedicated insolvency chambers, experienced administrators and a public prosecutor’s office that systematically reviews directors’ conduct files. Three local specifics matter for a director living abroad. First, the Paris greffe expects complete filings: Kbis certificate of less than three months, full list of creditors with amounts and due dates, list of enforcement proceedings, last three balance sheets, cash-flow statement, headcount and employment contracts, and current leases. An incomplete declaration filed from abroad without these exhibits delays the hearing and can itself be read as disorganisation. Second, the Paris court routinely sets short observation periods and demands a credible plan quickly; a foreign parent that promises recapitalisation must prove it with a bank letter or blocked funds, not a letter of intent. Third, hearings on personal sanctions are heard by chambers familiar with cross-border cases, and they hear every month directors who explain that they delegated everything to a local manager. Delegation is lawful, but it must be real, written, precise and given to a competent person with actual authority; a vague mandate to an accountant to “handle administration” while you kept the bank signature does not transfer the filing duty. If your intention is to keep a Paris presence, for example a lease in the 8th or 9th arrondissement that you want to preserve through a pre-pack sale (cession), tell counsel at the first meeting: the lease is often the most valuable asset, and assignment of a commercial lease (bail commercial, the protective French business lease regime) in a plan or sale requires the landlord to be summoned and the arrears to be addressed. Useful local preparation therefore means gathering the lease, the deposit receipt, the rent demands, the URSSAF statements, the VAT account, the intercompany loan agreements, and the minutes of every shareholders’ decision on continued trading despite losses, translated where necessary, before the first hearing rather than after the liquidator’s summons arrives.<\/p>\n

Costs and timing should be faced honestly. Court-appointed representatives are paid from the estate according to regulated scales, and when the estate has no assets the Treasury advances part of their fees; this does not make the procedure free for you, because the liquidator’s subsequent personal actions against you carry their own costs orders, and adverse costs follow the loser under Article 700 of the Code of Civil Procedure. A liquidation with no assets is closed for insuffisance d’actif (closure for lack of assets), published at the BODACC (Bulletin officiel des annonces civiles et commerciales, the official gazette where insolvency judgments are published), and the company is struck off the RCS (Registre du commerce et des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s, the French trade and companies register). The strike-off ends the company but opens the second phase of your exposure, the personal actions described in Part II, which have their own three-year limitation periods running from the opening judgment, not from the closure. Closing the company therefore never closes your file.<\/p>\n

II. Personal Liability of a Foreign-Based Director in French Insolvency Proceedings: Shortfall Claims and Management Bans<\/h2>\n

A. Paying the shortfall yourself: the action for insuffisance d’actif, management fault and how judges price it<\/h3>\n

The central financial risk is the action for insuffisance d’actif under Article L.651-2 of the Commercial Code<\/a>, which states, and I quote the exact wording, “Lorsque la liquidation judiciaire d’une personne morale fait appara\u00eetre une insuffisance d’actif, le tribunal peut, en cas de faute de gestion ayant contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 cette insuffisance d’actif, d\u00e9cider que le montant de cette insuffisance d’actif sera support\u00e9, en tout ou en partie, par tous les dirigeants de droit ou de fait, ou par certains d’entre eux, ayant contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 la faute de gestion.” Three words in that sentence carry the whole defence strategy. Dirigeants de droit ou de fait means directors in law or in fact: the registered president, g\u00e9rant or board member, but also any person who actually directed the company without a formal title. A foreign parent company, its CEO, or a group executive who approved every expense, hired and fired, negotiated with the French bank, or gave binding instructions to the nominal French manager can be qualified as dirigeant de fait, and the Cour de cassation (the French supreme court for civil and commercial matters) confirmed in its judgment of 30 March 2022 (No. 20-11.776, decision published on courdecassation.fr<\/a>) that, and I quote, “les tribunaux de commerce sont comp\u00e9tents pour conna\u00eetre des actions en responsabilit\u00e9 engag\u00e9es par des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s commerciales contre leurs dirigeants de fait”. If you ran the French subsidiary from London or Dubai in substance, assume you can be sued as a de facto director alongside or instead of the local nominee. Faute de gestion means a management fault exceeding simple negligence, since the same article adds, and I quote exactly, “Toutefois, en cas de simple n\u00e9gligence du dirigeant de droit ou de fait dans la gestion de la personne morale, sa responsabilit\u00e9 au titre de l’insuffisance d’actif ne peut \u00eatre engag\u00e9e.” An isolated accounting delay, a single mistaken business decision taken in good faith, or losses caused purely by an external shock do not qualify; systematic undercapitalisation, keeping a structurally loss-making business alive for years by not paying social and tax debts, taking customer deposits for orders the company cannot fulfil, or stripping cash through unjustified management fees do. Ayant contribu\u00e9 means having contributed: the fault need not be the sole or direct cause of the whole shortfall, but the liquidator must prove that each fault relied upon actually worsened the shortfall, not merely that the company lost money while you were in charge.<\/p>\n

Who sues, and within what time, is strictly framed. Article L.651-3 of the Commercial Code<\/a> provides, and I quote, “le tribunal est saisi par le liquidateur ou le minist\u00e8re public”, with a subsidiary standing for the majority of appointed creditor controllers if the liquidator stays inactive after formal notice. The limitation period is three years, since Article L.651-2 of the Commercial Code<\/a> states exactly, “L’action se prescrit par trois ans \u00e0 compter du jugement qui prononce la liquidation judiciaire”, and the sums recovered “entrent dans le patrimoine du d\u00e9biteur” and “sont r\u00e9parties au marc le franc entre tous les cr\u00e9anciers”, meaning they go to the estate for all creditors proportionally, not to one creditor directly. For a director abroad, this timetable matters: you may receive the liquidator’s summons two years after the closure, long after you have moved on, and French service rules allow valid service at your last known address or through international conventions. Never ignore a French assignation because you no longer live in France; instruct counsel to acknowledge it immediately, because default judgments in these matters are enforceable across the European Union and difficult to reopen.<\/p>\n

How courts actually decide is best shown by three recent rulings you can read in full through the official links. First, the Saint-Denis Court of Appeal, judgment of 30 April 2025 (RG 24\/00827), a detailed restatement of the method. The court recalled the statutory test of Article L.651-2 of the Commercial Code<\/a>, and I quote the exact wording: “la liquidation judiciaire d’une personne morale fait appara\u00eetre une insuffisance d’actif, le tribunal peut, en cas de faute de gestion ayant contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 cette insuffisance d’actif, d\u00e9cider que le montant de cette insuffisance d’actif sera support\u00e9, en tout ou en partie”. It then applied a rigorous four-step check: the shortfall is the difference between admitted pre-opening liabilities and assets realised in liquidation, assessed on the day the court rules, and it must be certain that creditors cannot be paid in full; each alleged fault must be proved and must exceed simple negligence; causation must be shown fault by fault; and the amount charged must respect proportionality, taking account of the director’s means and of external causes. On the facts, the court retained two faults against the g\u00e9rant: omitting to file within forty-five days while URSSAF enforcement measures multiplied unsuccessfully, which went beyond simple negligence because he could not ignore the scale of the debt, with the unpaid rent between the cessation date and the opening judgment aggravating the shortfall; and abusively continuing a loss-making business since at least 2016, financed by 400,860 euros of unpaid social and tax debts and by leaving a 708,882.62 euro intra-group receivable uncollected from companies he also controlled. It rejected two other complaints: the mere late filing of accounts at the greffe, where an accountant and auditor had actually kept sincere books, and the failure to rebuild equity where the director had at least reduced the capital as the statute required. The first-instance award of 350,000 euros on a shortfall of about 2.47 million euros was reduced on appeal to 200,000 euros on an updated shortfall of 2,687,143.43 euros, expressly because external factors (loss of brands and distributors, the gilets jaunes crisis, Covid) had contributed and because of the director’s family charges and 6,000-euro monthly salary. Second, the Cour de cassation, Commercial Chamber, 24 March 2015 (No. 14-10.354, decision published on courdecassation.fr<\/a>), upheld a 500,000-euro contribution on a 10.3-million-euro shortfall where, to quote the ruling, “la continuation de la prise de commandes en ligne et l’encaissement des acomptes correspondants, \u00e0 un moment o\u00f9 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 n’\u00e9tait manifestement pas en mesure de les honorer, a aggrav\u00e9 le montant du passif d\u00e9clar\u00e9 d’environ 6 000 000 d’euros”. Taking money from new customers when you know delivery is impossible is one of the most severely punished patterns. Third, the Versailles Court of Appeal, 9 September 2025 (RG 24\/04293), confirmed liability for failure to file in time, non-payment of social and tax contributions and breaches of employment law duties, while keeping the award modest at 5,000 euros at first instance, a reminder that judges graduate the amount but rarely acquit once systematic faults are proved. The defence lessons for a foreign-based director are concrete: file early so the late-filing fault disappears; pay social and tax debts first rather than selected suppliers, because financing continued trading through unpaid URSSAF and VAT is the textbook aggravating fault; collect intra-group receivables or record in board minutes why they are irrecoverable; stop taking customer deposits and placing supplier orders the day restructuring becomes manifestly impossible; and keep every restructuring effort (capital reduction, partial debt repayment, audit reports, recapitalisation attempts) because proportionality is your best argument on quantum, as the Saint-Denis reduction from 350,000 to 200,000 euros demonstrates.<\/p>\n

One related company-law fault often discovered during liquidation deserves a separate paragraph because foreign shareholders trigger it unknowingly: trading with lost equity. Article L.223-42 of the Commercial Code<\/a> for the SARL (with an equivalent in Article L.225-248 for the SA and SAS practice) requires that if, because of losses shown in the accounts, equity falls below half of the share capital, the shareholders must decide within four months of approving those accounts whether to dissolve early, and if they continue, the company must, no later than the end of the second financial year following the year the losses were recorded, rebuild equity to at least half the capital or reduce the capital accordingly, with the resolution published as the decree requires. The Saint-Denis court recalled that the director cannot rebuild equity alone and commits no fault if he duly convened the shareholders and reduced the capital as required; conversely, holding no meeting at all for years while equity stays negative is presented by liquidators as evidence of disorganised management supporting the broader insuffisance d’actif claim. From abroad, the fix is simple: instruct your accountant to flag the half-capital threshold every year, hold the shareholders’ meeting by written consultation or video conference as your articles allow, file the decision at the greffe, and publish it. It takes one week and removes one fault from the liquidator’s list.<\/p>\n

B. Bans and personal bankruptcy: when late filing or concealment triggers faillite personnelle or interdiction de g\u00e9rer, and how to challenge them<\/h3>\n

Beyond money, the court can bar you from business life. The regime sits in Chapter III of Book VI of the Commercial Code and applies, under Article L.653-1 of the Commercial Code<\/a>, to natural persons who are directors in law or in fact of legal entities and to permanent representatives, with actions time-barred, and I quote, “par trois ans \u00e0 compter du jugement qui prononce l’ouverture de la proc\u00e9dure”. Two sanctions must be distinguished. The faillite personnelle (personal bankruptcy) is pronounced where one of the closed list of serious facts in Article L.653-4 of the Commercial Code<\/a> is proved, and I quote the list exactly: “1\u00b0 Avoir dispos\u00e9 des biens de la personne morale comme des siens propres ; 2\u00b0 Sous le couvert de la personne morale masquant ses agissements, avoir fait des actes de commerce dans un int\u00e9r\u00eat personnel ; 3\u00b0 Avoir fait des biens ou du cr\u00e9dit de la personne morale un usage contraire \u00e0 l’int\u00e9r\u00eat de celle-ci \u00e0 des fins personnelles ou pour favoriser une autre personne morale ou entreprise dans laquelle il \u00e9tait int\u00e9ress\u00e9 directement ou indirectement ; 4\u00b0 Avoir poursuivi abusivement, dans un int\u00e9r\u00eat personnel, une exploitation d\u00e9ficitaire qui ne pouvait conduire qu’\u00e0 la cessation des paiements de la personne morale ; 5\u00b0 Avoir d\u00e9tourn\u00e9 ou dissimul\u00e9 tout ou partie de l’actif ou frauduleusement augment\u00e9 le passif de la personne morale.” Note the crucial qualifier in item 4: abusively continuing a loss-making business triggers personal bankruptcy only if done in your personal interest, for example to preserve your salary, yourintra-group flows or a related company, which the Saint-Denis court expressly found missing when it refused personal bankruptcy despite retaining insuffisance d’actif liability. The interdiction de g\u00e9rer (ban on directing, managing, administering or controlling any business or legal entity, generally for up to fifteen years with national publication) can be pronounced instead of personal bankruptcy in the cases listed in Articles L.653-3 to L.653-6, and, critically for absent directors, Article L.653-8 of the Commercial Code<\/a> adds two stand-alone grounds, and I quote exactly, “Elle peut \u00e9galement \u00eatre prononc\u00e9e \u00e0 l’encontre de toute personne mentionn\u00e9e \u00e0 l’article L. 653-1 qui a omis sciemment de demander l’ouverture d’une proc\u00e9dure de redressement ou de liquidation judiciaire dans le d\u00e9lai de quarante-cinq jours \u00e0 compter de la cessation des paiements, sans avoir, par ailleurs, demand\u00e9 l’ouverture d’une proc\u00e9dure de conciliation.” Knowingly failing to file within forty-five days can therefore cost you the right to manage any company in France even without any misappropriation, and the same article punishes directors who refuse to cooperate: the ban can also hit anyone who, in bad faith, fails to hand over the information required by Article L.622-6 of the Commercial Code<\/a> (list of creditors, amounts of debts, main ongoing contracts, pending proceedings) within one month of the opening judgment, or who knowingly withholds the information owed to the court. For a director living abroad, the message is blunt: silence is a sanctionable act. Replying late or through an uninstructed local contact to the liquidator’s inventory requests, ignoring the juge-commissaire (the judge supervising the procedure), or refusing to disclose the creditor list because the documents are in another country are exactly the behaviours Article L.653-8 targets.<\/p>\n

Defending these actions from abroad follows a disciplined method that recent appeal decisions illustrate. First, attack the characterisation of intent. Both the knowing omission to file and the bad-faith refusal to cooperate require proof of knowledge and deliberation; the Paris Court of Appeal on 5 December 2024 (RG 23\/19226, cited above) overturned a five-year management ban precisely because the lower court had not established the deliberate element against the director, ruling there was no ground for any sanction. Produce the paper trail that shows you acted as soon as informed: dated instructions to counsel, travel records, accountant emails, board minutes. Second, separate the company’s failure from your personal interest. The Saint-Denis court refused personal bankruptcy while ordering a 200,000-euro contribution because, and I quote the substance of its reasoning, no evidence showed the continuation decision was taken to obtain a personal benefit or for fraudulent purposes, and external shocks plus genuine rescue efforts explained part of the collapse. If you drew no excessive remuneration, injected personal funds, reduced supplier debts by 40 percent as that director had, or commissioned an independent audit, file these documents systematically; they defeat the personal-interest ingredient of Article L.653-4(4\u00b0) and support proportionality on the financial sanction. Third, cooperate visibly and early with the court-appointed officers. Remit the creditor list, the contracts, the bank statements and the inventory information required by Article L.622-6 within the one-month period, attend hearings by video link where the court allows it, and answer the liquidator’s questions in writing through counsel. Cooperation does not concede liability for the shortfall, but it removes the autonomous ground for a ban based on obstruction, which is the easiest sanction for a court to pronounce against an absent director. Fourth, use the separation between the two tracks: an order to contribute to the shortfall does not automatically entail a ban, and vice versa, so each must be defended on its own evidence. Ask counsel to plead quantum separately, with proof of your income, dependants, housing costs and absence of real-estate wealth, exactly as the Saint-Denis director did with his salary slips and rent receipts, because courts openly reduce awards on these grounds. Finally, calendar the three-year limitation period from the opening judgment for both tracks under Articles L.651-2 and L.653-1, and check whether the summons was served in time; late service is a complete defence, but it must be raised at the outset before any defence on the merits. None of this requires relocating to France. It requires a French lawyer with an insolvency practice before the competent commercial court, an accountant who certifies the figures, and your commitment to answer within days rather than months.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

A subsidiary registered in France that enters cessation des paiements faces the same duties whether its director lives next door or abroad. Within forty-five days of the cash-flow break you must file or seek conciliation, and that duty is judged on what your documents show you knew, not on where you lived. If the court opens redressement, propose a funded plan quickly, particularly before the Paris commercial court, which expects complete exhibits and proof of new money. If liquidation follows, expect two separate personal proceedings: a contribution to the shortfall under Article L.651-2, where late filing, continued loss-making trading financed by unpaid social and tax debts, uncollected intra-group receivables and customer deposits taken without any prospect of delivery are the faults courts punish, and a possible ban or personal bankruptcy under Articles L.653-4 and L.653-8, where knowing delay and refusal to cooperate are autonomous grounds. The recent case law shows both the severity and the defences: 200,000 euros on a 2.68-million-euro shortfall in Saint-Denis with two faults retained and two rejected, 500,000 euros confirmed by the Cour de cassation for knowingly taking six million euros of customer deposits, and bans overturned where intent was not proved. Keep weekly cash-flow records, convene the shareholders when equity falls below half the capital, collect or justify group receivables, stop trading when restructuring is manifestly impossible, and answer the liquidator within the statutory month.
