Minutes for a change of president (SAS, SASU)
A change of president takes place when the director of a SAS or SASU leaves office and a new president is designated. The SAS is characterized by great freedom in its statuts (articles of association): the conditions of appointment, removal and the term of office are set by the statuts. These minutes record the departure of the former president, the appointment of the new one and, where applicable, their remuneration. They must be filed with the guichet unique (single business formalities window, INPI) and published in a legal announcements journal to update the Kbis extract. This form is in English, but the document is generated in French, ready to sign and use in France.
Note: the questionnaire is in English; the generated document is in French.

Frequently asked questions
How is the president of a SAS removed?
The removal terms are set freely by the statuts (articles of association): removal ad nutum (at any time, without cause) or for legitimate reason, by a majority of the associes (partners) or by a designated body. It is essential to follow precisely the procedure provided by the statuts to avoid any dispute.
What formalities apply after the change of president?
You must publish a notice in a legal announcements journal, then file with the guichet unique (single window) of the INPI the minutes, proof of identity of the new president and a declaration of non-conviction. The greffe (registry) then updates the Kbis extract.
Can the president of a SAS be a legal entity?
Yes. Unlike the management of a SARL, the president of a SAS may be a natural person or a legal entity. In the latter case, the legal entity acts through its legal representative.
Must the statuts be amended?
Only if the name of the president is included in them. Many SAS appoint the president by a separate decision to avoid amending the statuts (articles of association) at each change. Check your statuts before finalizing the filing.
