Legal entity management: what does French law say?

What is legal entity management?
Legal entity management means centralising and keeping up to date the legal information of every company in a group: the identity and articles of association of each entity, the composition of its governing bodies, directors' terms of office and their expiry dates, and the ownership links between companies. It gives a legal department a single source of truth and keeps it compliant, company by company.

Every company must keep up to date the identity of its directors, the composition of its governing bodies and the duration of corporate offices. That duration is set by law and specified in the articles of association, depending on the company form. Filing and publication obligations with the commercial court registry also apply, as does the declaration of beneficial owners.

An expired term of office that has not been renewed weakens the validity of the decisions taken by the director concerned. Traceability of appointments and terminations is therefore a condition of legal certainty for the group.

Keeping up with the legal affairs of several companies is a headache

Your lawyers spend more time looking for information than using it
Scattered data

Paper, spreadsheets, PDFs, emails: no single centralised source of truth.

Expired terms of office

One missed renewal is a legal risk for the company.

No overall view

No way to see the group structure and its directors at a glance.

Manage your entities in full compliance, in any country

Axiocap gives you a single reference source for all your companies
Obligations specific to each country

Company forms, terms of office, mandatory governing bodies, year-end dates: every jurisdiction has its own rules. Tracking them in a spreadsheet quickly becomes unmanageable.

Axiocap, your compliance reference source

One record per entity, fields you can customise by country, a full change history and a complete audit trail. Interface available in French and English.

An asset for multi-subsidiary groups

Access partitioned by subsidiary or by function, a consolidated view for the holding company, and export of the ownership chain to answer KYC requests.

Data that holds legal value, the foundation of real control

Running a group means relying on information no one can dispute.

A foundation of legal proof. Your registers and decisions are sealed, time-stamped and enforceable. Managing your entities rests on data that holds legal value, not on a working copy.

Data fed straight from the source. Company records are pre-filled from the official French registries, and every share transfer recorded in Axiocap updates the org chart. Less re-keying, fewer discrepancies.

Genuine sovereignty. Hosted in France, data kept in Europe, a French independent company, and unconditional data portability.

Frequently asked questions about entity management

How is Axiocap different from a general-purpose legal suite?

Axiocap specialises in the corporate and governance scope of privately held companies: shareholding, registers, general meetings and entity management. Where a general-purpose suite takes 6 to 12 months to deploy and requires your IT department, Axiocap is up and running in days, with no IT project, and delivers results within the first quarter.

How do I migrate my existing data without re-keying everything?

You do not have to start from scratch. Our tailored migration service lets you choose the scope (companies, shareholders, share transfers, registers) and how far back to go. Data is imported manually or with AI assistance from your articles of association and documents, and company records are then pre-filled from official registry data. In practice, migration often brings past errors to light so you can correct them along the way.

What concrete ROI can I present to my CFO or General Counsel?

Three measurable levers. Time: a share transfer recorded in 30 seconds instead of 5 to 10 minutes, and a general meeting closed in a quarter of an hour instead of a day. Risk avoided: registers that are enforceable and compliant at all times, so no more two to three days spent reconstructing them during an audit or a sale. Structural cost: no IT project, no IT man-days, no integration provider.

How long before we are up and running, and do we need our IT department?

From a few days to a few weeks depending on the migration, with no IT project and no technical integration. Axiocap is a SaaS platform: no server to install, no connector to develop, no IT man-days to budget for. You can also subscribe module by module and move forward gradually, starting with a priority scope.

Is the data secure and hosted in France?

Yes. Your data and documents are hosted in mainland France with French providers (OVH, Orange), under the GDPR with a dedicated DPO. The digital safe is CCFN-certified, with time-stamping and electronic signatures compliant with the eIDAS Regulation. You set the access rights yourself, user by user.
