Article R210-5 of the French Commercial code

When a limited liability company is formed, a statement of the acts performed on behalf of the company being formed, with an indication, for each of them, of the commitment that would result for the company, is presented to the partners before the Articles of Association are signed.

This statement is appended to the Articles of Association, the signing of which entails the assumption of the commitments by the company, when the latter has been registered in the Trade and Companies Register.

In addition, the partners may, in the Articles of Association or by separate deed, give a mandate to one or more of them or to the non-partner manager who has been appointed, to enter into commitments on behalf of the company. Provided that the commitments are specific and that the terms and conditions are set out in the mandate, the registration of the company in the Trade and Companies Register entails the assumption of these commitments by the company.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R210-5

Lors de la constitution d’une société à responsabilité limitée, l’état des actes accomplis pour le compte de la société en formation, avec l’indication, pour chacun d’eux, de l’engagement qui en résulterait pour la société, est présenté aux associés avant la signature des statuts.

Cet état est annexé aux statuts, dont la signature emporte reprise des engagements par la société, lorsque celle-ci a été immatriculée au registre du commerce et des sociétés.

En outre, les associés peuvent, dans les statuts ou par acte séparé, donner mandat à l’un ou plusieurs d’entre eux ou au gérant non associé qui a été désigné, de prendre des engagements pour le compte de la société. Sous réserve qu’ils soient déterminés et que les modalités en soient précisées par le mandat, l’immatriculation de la société au registre du commerce et des sociétés emporte reprise de ces engagements par la société.
