Extension of the deadline for a general meeting to approve accounts
Should the meeting not be held within the legal time limit, it is possible to obtain a six-month extension of this time limit by sending an application to the presiding judge of the commercial court. Download a request template
Exception
This approval procedure of annual accounts is not mandatory for limited liability companies and simplified stock companies with a sole shareholder, when this sole shareholder is an individual who personally manages or chairs the company; the formality is then considered to be fulfilled by the filing of the annual accounts and the inventory duly signed in the Trade and Companies Register (this also applies for professional limited liability or simplified stock companies with a sole shareholder).
Time periods
Filing of an application for deadline extension prior to the expiration of the six-month statutory period is recommended. In any case, the presiding judge of the commercial court is responsible for assessing the admissibility of this request.
Texts: Articles L. 225-100, L. 223-31 and R. 225-64 of the Commercial Code.
How to file an application?
The request must be filed in two original copies dated and signed by the legal representative.
It must be presented by the company's legal representative.
It is important to include a copy of the balance sheet and the profit and loss statement for the prior financial year and, if it is established, the projected balance sheet for the current fiscal year.
It is sent to the registry office of the relevant commercial court.
N.B. : it is preferable to provide an estimate of the desired extension period, taking into account the pace of the company's legal status and the vacation periods.
