cessation d'activité
So, after 3 years, it's time to move on... to Jordan.
Stopping the auto-entrepreneur activity seems remarkably simple
http://www.entreprises.ccip.fr/web/formalites/cessation-d-activite
Just fill in the form online, print it out, send it to the address that comes up on the validation page along with a copy of your passport/ID/carte de séjour
Done.

a year later
And it's still all happening!
I have spent a several hours this month teaching my university students the importance of online networking. All my work over the last two years has come via word of mouth, partly locally, partly online. I cannot stress how important it is to have an online profile that is not Facebook; www.viadeo.com is very French, www.linkedin.com is more international and you need to be on both.
But you already knew all that.

Numéro de déclaration d'existence
What?
Basically, to be able to write "conventions de formation" you need a "numéro de déclaration d'existence." The convention de formation means your clients can claim back the cost of the training from the OPCA
(organismes paritaires collecteurs agrées http://www.travail-solidarite.gouv.fr/informations-pratiques,89/fiches-pratiques,91/formation-professionnelle,118/les-organismes-paritaires,1082.html)
Where?
http://www.idf.pref.gouv.fr/dema/formation_prof.htm
for Ile de France only, as this is managed by region
What do I need again?
- 3 copies of their form (download from website)
- a copy of your first "convention de stage" or "contrat de formation" (signed less than 3 months ago)
- list of students and their jobs
- list of teachers, including yourself, with job title and qualifications
- your police record (see previous post)
- recent (calendar year) copy of your SIREN (see previous post)
Where do I send it? (in triplicate...)
for Ile de France:
service régional de Contrôle
210, quai de Jemmapes
CS 90105
75468 PARIS CEDEX 10
for other regions, check your prefecture website
As with all French bureacracy, it takes a while. In the meantime, you just write "numéro de déclaration d'activité : en cours d'attribution" on your conventions and official documents.

attestation INSEE or URSSAF
Why do I need this?
Certain administrations need the up to date document from the Urssaf (année en cours).
Don't panic, France is modernising.
Go to www.sirene.fr
Type in your Siren (first 9 numbers of your Siret)
Click on entreprise and you can save as a pdf document or print directly
Easy!

Bulletin n°3 du casier judiciaire
Why do I need this?
If you want to be able to issue "conventions de stage" you will need to provide certain documents (more later), including your criminal record.
As a foreigner, you have to send an email to cjn@justice.gouv.fr stating your surname, married name, first names, date and place of birth (town & country). Then attached your scanned ID and email them.
I have just done it. Fingers crossed.

How much should I charge?
There are two important issues here:
1) How much are you prepared to work for?
Taking into account transport time and preparation; 30€ / hour does not sound as good when you factor in
- 45 minutes to get to class
- 1h30 class
- then 45 minutes to get to the next class
and therefore brings you just 45€ for 3 hours’ work
or 15€ an hour…
on which you pay tax/social contributions, up to 20-22%
2) What is the going rate?
Consider where you work (Paris, suburbs, 35km from Clermont Ferrand...),
who you work with/teach (language school, retired pharmacist, multinational company, pupil in 6ème...)
and, what you are doing (translation, coaching, general English lessons, specialist lessons...)
As a guideline
- Language schools determine their own rates which are rarely negotiable. It can be anything from 35€/hour to 50€/hour, or more, depending on the type of class and the expertise required.
- A quick survey shows that individual private tuition for children or teenagers in Paris is paid about 25-30€/hour
- Language schools charge companies (as part of the "formation continue") anything from 40€/hour to 70€/hour, or more.
