“You are here in your house, this ministry is yours, that of those who take risks, who create jobs, who make our country grow. » The introduction of the Minister of Small and Medium Enterprises, Olivia Grégoire, was enough to put at ease the audience of Ile-de-France entrepreneurs, one hundred and fifty men and women of different generations, gathered at the Ministry of the Economy on December 18 for the “meetings of simplification”.
This major consultation in person and online launched in November with the Minister of the Economy and Finance should make it possible to identify what might simplify their lives, in their daily procedures or the application of regulations.
Ten years following “shock of simplification” already promised by François Hollande in 2013. And four years following the Pacte law and its “one-stop shop”an online platform supposed to bring together all administrative formalities for businesses but whose first steps proved to be so “chaotic”, according to the Court of Auditors, that the old procedures, via Infogreffe or on paper, had to be resurrected. Giving some of the participants the opportunity to politely ironize regarding the collateral risks of simplification, without dwelling on them.
“It starts from the ground”
This time “it starts from the ground, from the very concrete, it’s a new method”say those around the minister. “The more you go into detail, such number of Cerfa [formulaire administratif] or such B12 paragraph 4 standard which complicates your life, the more efficient we will be”, encourages Olivia Grégoire alongside Renaissance deputies Louis Margueritte and Alexis Izard.
“The time we spend for a job…”, begins the president of the Union of Local Businesses (U2P) of Ile-de-France (craftsmen, traders, liberal professions), Antony Hadjipanayotou. “It takes a day, a day and a half from our work to make declarations to all the funds. When you only have four employees, it’s too heavy. » Regulatory and administrative constraints weigh particularly heavily on SMEs, which are not as well “equipped” in human resources than large groups, underlines the president of Medef Ile-de-France, Daniel Weizmann.
“80% of my activity is done internationally, but export aid is so complicated that I don’t even ask for it anymore, I prefer to pay the taxes”, testifies a flea market dealer. “Facing the steps to obtain the RGE label [reconnu garant de l’environnement], a lot of building professionals give up », adds Antony Hadjipanayotou. The research tax credit? “The calculation triggers a tax audit three quarters of the time”, notes a participant. VAT credit, “an abomination!”, deplores another. An accountant can do it, but it’s not free! » Aid for energy renovation? “We get lost in that too!” » “We have just launched the beta version of a platform to help small businesses navigate more than 300 ecological transition aids”points out the minister.
