And governments, multilateral organizations devote all their energy, all their ingenuity to combat these movements, returning later analysis of other crises..

Now, while panicked steps, the food crisis and energy crisis are still there, and their manifestations due to structural causes may be leveraged by the financial disorder.

In end, through lack of investment consistent with a lack of competitiveness and the imbalance of trade routes, food and energy are not sufficient for the needs of a growing world population.

However, because of the financial crisis, there is now a considerable mass of liquidity in search of profit, and the instruments of globalization to circulate: So everything is in place so that will create new speculative bubble in the sandstones of the events. Down today due to good crops, cereals, like oil, can again become dear in a very short delay, disrupt forecast producers and disrupting the search for long-term equilibrium, a necessary investment.

Why did you decide to launch this fund dedicated to the obligations of Credit High Yield? The financial crisis that we know in recent months has led to a significant variance of credit spreads in both the We believe that the market offers good opportunities and prospects of high returns, despite the tightening we’ve seen since last March (to recall the march reached its highest point on March 17-level equivalent to that of 09.11.2001). Support the operation of existing debt while improving the fundamentals of companies. About 6% of debt issuers in Europe High Yield aims to be repaid over the next three months..

More quantitatively, with a level of about 1.5%, we are now on an actual default rates historically low. Although recent research by Moody’s and S&P forecast an increase in the rate of default to its historical average, between 5 and 6%, the current performance of the High Yield amply compensates for this risk. Indeed, a 650 basis points above the state rate, the high point of High Yield during the crisis, the implied default rate is 40% at 5 years (level actually achieved during the 1929 crisis in the U.S. States). On current levels of 500 basis points, the implied default rate remained at 30%, which is very attractive to 10% real Moody’s and S&P expect.

What returns do you expect for each of the two classes? The multiple tensions of the various markets and uncertainty about the evolution of interest rates are influential parameters in determining performance. Now, if we remain in a reasonable range of rate changes, we can anticipate an annualized return of about 8.5 to 9% over 5 years on the High Yield and 5.5-6% on.

While the U.S. And the UK are preparing to reform their financial system, Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said Friday that Canada would not offer any major change in the regulation of its banking sector.

According to Flaherty, Canada does not need to launch major overhaul of its financial services sector, because many of the measures being contemplated by other states have already been implemented. Canadians can be proud of the fact that during this crisis, our system has worked well and that our financial institutions, including our life insurance companies, have also worked well, has he says.

They are all well-capitalized, and it is, I believe, the most important problem is the international scale. Banks, (or) other financial institutions, are not all well-capitalized. M. Flaherty had already confirmed that he had no intention of trying to limit bonuses paid to bankers-a thorny issue in the U.S.-but he says Canada would respect the guidelines adopted at meetings G20.

Friday, Flaherty said he had written to state companies and have requested to comply with the directives of the Council of financial stability. These guidelines recommend including spread premiums accorded to encourage leaders to avoid the use of short-term risks.

The winner is the company Vinci, the design team is here represented by Philippe Blandin, an architect who does not have eyes in his pocket, and is still furious..

As everyone knows, every kind of building is given a responsibility to meet a given operating load. Clearly the housing is 125 kN/m2, the tertiary is 250Kn/m2, and universities are 400Kn/m2. These figures, decided to legislatively, are probably unreliable, but they match the standard defined. It is not comfortable, for example, a university Extension in a building originally designed for commercial, even if the safety factors are significant: (from near 1.7,) Qu A plateau is found with a conference room has 500Kn/m2 but Built on a plateau at 250 kN/m2. Find the error. Worse decoupage becomes so complex for some levels, definitely obere any possible redevelopment of the plates Going forward. Who will remember in ten years that the office space can be assigned to the overloading of labs? classrooms?

The obligation of 400Kn/m2 for academic buildings is not respected.

Realizing this situation architects unwilling to commit their responsibilities by developing local academic standards alone of tertiary refuse such a state of affairs. Curiously the project owner, however CONCERNED by the adaptability of its building and its standards, seems to close his eyes and takes the side of the business, the rating of the strongest, perhaps to reassure himself.

Oligopoly public-private partnerships, this may be the best and worst thing, Frederic Marty analysis, a researcher at the CNRS, one of the specialists french these new forms of contract. Some equipment such as communications satellites, the private may have more experience than the public, the PPP and be more economically efficient. But it points to the limits of the model: it is a form of deferred debt, an expensive investment, because in general the private sector borrows at rates less favorable than the public. In its 2008 report, the Court of Auditors had warned of this. This is mainly operating in the long term risks and technologically complex sectors that PPPs become problematic: the additional costs to the public person is unlikely to be huge. Some NHS hospitals have paid the price..

The problem of PPPs is that the contracts are very complex encompassing both the financing, construction, management over several years. The poor guy from a local authority will never measure up to the representatives of Bouygues and Vinci, who do this all day. Given the size of contracts, consortiums formed around very large groups are favored, adds Fred Marty, there are only majors in most of the building tenders. This concentration of competition creates an oligopoly.

Renovation of a site north of Paris 4, Paris (Bouygues), construction of new campus of the National School of Advanced technical (ENSTA) on the site Polytechnique Palaiseau (Vinci) renovation of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Versailles Saint-Quentin (Bouygues), and the Zoo the Vincennes, which depends on the Natural History Museum (Bouygues), PPPs are developing gradually UNIVERSITY. Are they equipped to cope?

Click on photo In Canada, the misadventures of the University of Montreal, UQAM, whose finances are now burdened by bad real estate project in PPP sets and much more expensive than expected, raised a wave of criticism against the partnership contracts in academia. Read the rest of this entry »

Man determines PPP Officially, impossible to know whether such problems can be found in other buildings in the yard of Paris 7. The side of da Vinci and the university, the silence is almost total. Mediapart but had access to documents relating to another building. When you look at the final presentation of the M6A1, intended to accommodate just under 3,000 people with a library, meeting rooms, seminars, teacher offices., other abnormalities appear. For example, plans two floors are contradictory: as seen on the map reproduced below, the same hallway and stairs do not support even the same weight level ANOTHER: 400 kg/m2. ‘ lower floor (yellow orange), but 250 kg/m2 above (color green)..

Click on photo Click on photo This inconsistency is coupled with another concern: the top floor, is a classroom supporting 400 kg/m2 in accordance with the standard (orange-yellow band on the map). But the corridor leading to it only supports. 250 kg/m2, that is to say fewer people. The access road is too small for the room.

Another example: the ground floor of the same building, the gymnasium can hold 500 kg/m2 (outlined in red on the map), while the access corridor (green) is 250 kg/m2.

Click on photo Above, we see here on this plane an amphitheater carrying 400 kg (red trace in the bottom left), in accordance with the rule, but adopts a corridor supports only 250 kg (green trace), borders an area supporting him 500 kg per square meter (red trace in bottom right).

For Vinci, solicits Mediapart, the companies involved in this project meet the specifications that they have been fixed by the University, in accordance with the set of standards. However, Philippe Blandin is not the only one to notice that the charges of his building are a problem. The office control Qualiconsult written last March Sogam, a subsidiary of Vinci in charge of construction: The principle of flexibility is likely to be challenged by the different values of overload operation defined in the note hypothesis. Clearly, weight, according to plans, the building can support do not guarantee its flexibility..

In an email sent al’agence In/We have read that Mediapart an engineer of Qualiconsult is even more direct: Overload in any event will be at least equal to 400 kg/m2 for a number of premises as yet undefined. In a message back to September 2009, the Office notes that studies Setec sign the contract document has different values compared to that of the final bid. In other words, a document ANOTHER, the numbers vary. In short, the overall picture is worrisome.

In February, Philippe Blandin is grateful. To have wanted to do my work considered there. Once fired, he is replaced by another architect, working for a sub-subsidiary of Vinci, SCGMA. Solicits Mediapart, it has not responded to our appeal.

What is the building today? The review of the final presentation of March 30, 2009, the last person has made public before signing the final offer, yet reveals the glaring contradictions with the specifications of the work. For example, when looking at the map of the 4th floor of the building (reproduced below) shows clearly that the plate boundary zone is variable loads: 250 kg (green), 350 (red dots in a gray), 400 (orange).

First problem: the security of buildings. According to the authors of the appeal, the two targeted buildings have a considerable number of irregularities, including major irregularities involving the safety of persons. The number of people using the FOR seems to have been underestimated by the builder-Le Canard enchaine it was echoed last spring (a read here)..

For example, the safety record of one of the buildings do not take into account the future users of the library, and clears and the constraints of regulations in fire safety. In a university, a library without a student? This is an aberration, Michel Parigot considered, anti-asbestos committee of Jussieu. This is not the Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve! Jean-Baptiste Lacoudre answers, architect of the building is a library for researchers and a few students. But for the applicants, is a false statement of resources. Added to forget all those who, in addition to administrative staff and teachers already included in buildings, attend the meeting rooms and seminars in theory, open to outsiders, the secretariat of the Faculty, the offices of Profs. In all, nearly 1,300 people who fall outside the radar of the security of both buildings, according to the resort.

The Administrative Court could make its decision within one year, unless the applicants RESOLVED by the one refers to. But the appeal is not suspensive, and the work of construction is about to begin. Read the rest of this entry »

This is not a site like the others: it is one of the largest public-private partnerships (PPP) signed by the French university. Created in 2004, these partnership agreements are changing the face of public works: from now on, the State may entrust the construction, maintenance, management and operation of a building, a highway or a railway a private company who owns it and rents its services to the public on one or more decades. There are currently 69 PPP in UK (see list here) most of which very recently were signed with local authorities..

The immediate benefit for the state is obvious: the cost-saving investment, which can reduce the debt. For private contractors, PPPs are a boon which guarantees the payment of an annuity for twenty to thirty years.

Universite Paris 7-Diderot has signed just last year a partnership contract, legal form, requested by the Department with the group Vinci, the construction behemoth, for $273 million euros. He runs over thirty years. Subject: design, construction and maintenance of four academic buildings (classrooms, offices, library, homes.).

Given the magnitude of the project, Vinci has partnered with GDF-Suez, Barclays Private Equity and FIDEPPP (Savings Banks) to form the group Unicite, operator of the site. Over 10,000 students are expected in these new buildings Site Paris Rive Gauche, in the ZAC Tolbiac, AT THE BEGINNING 2012. My ministry is located in a position of builder, welcomed the Minister of Higher Education, Valerie Pecresse, when signing contracts. But not necessarily in economic managers, since during the same speech, she recognizes that the PPP did not cost him less than a conventional building contract. For Vincent Berger, president of the university, is a landmark event. Read the rest of this entry »

Or the advantage of this type of assembly is he? Not in price, everyone agreeing to recognize that the price for the public entity is higher than if she was building herself the building by borrowing and repaying the loan. The great advantage is that unlike a loan, it does not appear in public debt: it is a debt hidden in the rent. The Court of Auditors has criticized this type of installation..

Two possible reasons can be adduced to use a PPP: the urgency and complexity. In this case, the university relies on the complexity, the three main buildings lying on the railroads.

The question of the strength of buildings is not a negligible issue, especially over the railroads. Vinci is well placed to know the problem for building the concrete shell of the terminal 2E at Roissy which collapsed in 2004, leaving 4 dead.

Applications for building permits were filed by Unicite August 5, 2009. In December the licenses of two large buildings M6A1 and M5B2 were a first time refuse, the three committees of the prefecture of police-fire safety, public safety and accessibility for the disabled-who, each for its part, and each of the buildings, provides an unfavorable opinion.

Surprisingly, although anomalies essential, including on fire safety, have not been seriously corrected, the same commissions have issued favorable opinions in April 2010. Following these reviews, the Prefect has issued building permits April 28, 2010.

When we went to inspect the records of building permits the prefecture, we did not find what we’ve found. We returned several times, telling us that it was not possible, that we were wrong. Read the rest of this entry »

The first partnership, a $68 million investment for the site-Sorbonne Clignancourt (in the 18th arrondissement of Paris). It includes the demolition of a building and constructing a new building of 21,000 m 2 with eight amphitheatres, library, gymnasium and cafeteria. This facility, designed to accommodate 6,000 students, is expected to be operational in 2013. The contract is awarded to the group which brings together Soi five shareholders including Dexia Credit Local and Bouygues Btiment Ile the UK..

Signs in the presence of a large audience, industrialists and academics, these PPPs are the first in a long series. In addition to projects of Operation Campus, other partnerships are planned or underway: the renovation of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin, Zoo the Vincennes (attached at the Museum of Natural History) or yet the university of Toulouse Le Mirail. What about the other universities in Paris?

For the voice of the executive vice-president of the Regional Council of UK, Marie-Pierre the la Gontrie, the PS response ads cons of signing up PPP and the universities Paris 4 Paris 7. Valerie Pecresse few ads on the renovation of the Parisian university heritage are incomprehensible and messy, she believes.

After ordering an audit in 2008 on the Parisian university heritage, then decided to create a mission entrusted to Bernard Larrouturou to finally see the end of 2009 Conclusions, the minister starts now figures only two universities in Paris, she deplored in a statement.

Why announce figures for the only university in Paris 4 and Paris 7, so even that is waiting for a clear commitment from the state to assist all universities to come together and finance their projects Campus, she wondered. The report of Bernard Larrouturrou would indeed be a prerequisite for awarding grants of Operation Campus project in Paris. Still, the regional campaign for the Paris and is now already well established. Read the rest of this entry »

Chinese banks have increased the number of loans in June, and they represent twice the loans made in May, which increases the risk of bad loans and excessive production capacity in the middle a boom in credits..

The preliminary calculations showed that new loans accounted for 1.53 billion yuan, said yesterday the central bank on its website, bringing the total loans this year to 7.4 billion yuan, which exceeds by far the largest national target of 5 billion yuan of loans during that year. Total loans for this year amounts to nearly one quarter of GDP last year.

The figure in June was the third largest monthly amount this year, after 1.89 trillion yuan loaned in March and 1.62 trillion in January.

Soaring loans in June was the result of the government’s decision to address the capital requirements of investment in fixed assets in May, told China Daily Liu Yuhui, head of the Center for Chinese economic evaluation at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

The minimum investment for construction projects of railways, roads and the metro was lowered to 25% from 35%, while the ratio for airports, ports and related construction river navigation was lowered to 30% from 35%.

The reduction of infrastructure requirements related to investment projects will make it easier for local governments to borrow from local banks to supply infrastructure construction, Liu said. Read the rest of this entry »

The oil ministers of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and consumer countries reunited at the International Energy Forum, held in Rome on Sunday to Tuesday, have looked to pass the threshold of 117, 118 and 119 dollars in three days of conference without making a gesture..

In their final declaration, they are happy to say CONCERNED by course level and ensure that oil and gas resources were sufficient to meet the global needs.

Since the beginning of the financial crisis, the oil and raw materials more widely, are the subject of rampant speculation by investors seeking a hedge of the decline in the stock market and the greenback.

But the IEA, which represents energy interests of consuming countries, has nevertheless repeatedly called on OPEC, as it did there is still a month to increase production, saying market supply adequate a short term.

Plan Blotnizki But since 1846, Geneva lives a fairly serious economic crisis. It affects the clock. Business. Everyone knows that major operations employ arms and calms the brain. The first were launched in 1847, even if the Restoration had not been inactive in this area. Remember that Bergues Corraterie are creations of the 1830s, recalls Livio Fornara..

Begun in 1850, the demolition of the fortifications provide work for half a century. Entire neighborhoods, punctuated by a string of churches and a network of public buildings, will break ground, according to plans to find, adopt, and since we are in Geneva, was amended. After earthworks, the crucial decision will be taken in 1858. Geneva then chooses the plan for engineers Blotnizki Leopold. He is a disciple of General Dufour, who had, according to Livio Fornara, recommended reducing the walls of the year 1820.

The plan was very clear, very regular, continues the director of the Maison Tavel. It posed a problem however. There remained only valid for Geneva itself, or of thorny problems connecting. Do not forget that. Plainpalais or Eaux-Vives then remain autonomous municipalities. They will be part of the Grand Geneva in 1930-1931. Not surprising if they had developed their own planning, a little anarchic. The current city bears its mark. Chic trenches The creation of a new belt more airy, which we know today as the term fazyste, will bring also a new population distribution. Migrating from the rich side of the trenches. Corinne Walker as well shows how developers have created and then remodeled as an artery Street Beaumont.

The industry, she moved to Junction, the previously dedicated to gardening. Blackbird seems to be closer to Geneva, his former enemy, with the first buildings Plainpalais. The world is changing at full speed between 1850 and the National Exhibition of 1896. Read the rest of this entry »

That vote. It does return. Dominated by radicals, the Grand Council took its decision September 15, 1849. The fortifications of Geneva, which occupy as much land as the city itself, if not more, will be entirely destroyed..

It is surprising that the poll, which has a cardinal importance (if we dare say!) for the city, occupies so little space in local history books. All pass over the event as a cat on hot coals, preferring for the time arrival of the railroad and the founding of the Red Cross. The case of the fortifications of the debates, however, created a long time. Deja, in early 1830, we talk about the demolition of the citadel town, and reminds the historian Michel Bassand.

A huge urban project The current exhibition How Geneve raised the Maison Tavel featuring this fantastic project areas. Recall that the Lower Roman Empire, Geneva had been a stronghold. In early 1530, so unstable, she had even taken a decision that seems crazy. The Republic had shaved its suburbs, forcing its inhabitants to crowd in town. The quote, which was not even that of Calvin, and found himself in the midst of a no man’s land.

The sixteenth to the eighteenth century, the medieval fortifications had been constantly amended and supplemented. It was only bastions, blockhouses and bunkers. In addition there were still beyond the walls, the glaze decreed unconstructable, recalls Livio Fornara, curator of the current exhibition of Tavel. Read the rest of this entry »

IP/09/1569 Brussels, 22 October 2009 State aid: Commission approves aid Cypriot regime for credit institutions The European Commission has cleared under the EC Treaty rules on state aid, a diet aid Cypriot using special treasury bonds to enhance financial market stability and mitigate the effects of the crisis. The Commission finds that the measure was in accordance with its Communication on state aid to overcome the financial crisis (see IP/08/1495). It is a particular duration and limited in scope, is accompanied by an adequate remuneration and provides sufficient safeguards to reduce the distortions of competition. This measure is therefore an appropriate means to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of Cyprus and is compatible with Article 87, paragraph 3, item b) of the EC Treaty. Ms Neelie Kroes, Commissioner for Competition, stated this topic: The scheme will help Cyprus to limit the consequences of the financial crisis without creating disproportionate distortions of competition. Under this plan, Cyprus is expected to issue special treasury bonds which are used by credit institutions as collateral to obtain liquidity from the European Central Bank (ECB) and the interbank market..

Credit institutions use this cash to provide mortgages and loans to small and medium enterprises under competitive conditions. These bills would not pay special coupons and have a maturity of up to three years. They would be prepared to credit institutions meeting certain conditions and safeguards against payment of a fee. This regime would be open to solvent credit institutions incorporated in Cyprus, including subsidiaries of foreign institutions. Interested institutions will have six months to occur from the date of entry into force of domestic law to implement and will do so no later than November 30, 2009. The total budget allocated to this scheme amounted to 3 billion. Several rules of conduct were imposed to reduce the distortions of competition. The beneficiaries are, inter alia, not allowed to expand their business disproportionately or to resort to aggressive marketing strategies.

The non-confidential version of the decision will be published in the State Aid Register under number N 511/2009 on the website of DG Competition, once any confidentiality issues have been resolved.

This is a serious blow to tobacco. It begins at the time rather encouraging figures for U.S. Growth were published. And it occurs in a context different from that of 2000-2001: companies are not in debt, their margins are comfortable and attractive market valuations. The disaster scenario played by markets-general financial crisis, U.S. Recession, plummeting corporate profits-has no basis for the time being. March having rediscovered the price of liquidity, large caps should take the advantage over smaller ones. Enthusiasm for risk products will calm down and remain more restrictive monetary conditions, predicts Antoine Beaugendre, strategist at Societe Generale.

Why Greece panicked markets? While there has accelerated a little over a year when subprime mortgages exploded in the face of the United States. And the rest of the world. Greece, like the rest of the European Union, made the choice to increase its public spending. But to spend more, we need revenue. And public finances were already on a slippery slope. In 2009, Greece’s debt will represent 112.6% of GDP, the worst performance in Europe after Italy (114% of GDP). And this fragility worries more rating agencies Moody’s, Standard&Poors, Fitch Ratings. Whose job is to assess everything that moves in the economy, including States. While the latter did not see coming bankruptcy of the system of subprime, but they balk at the state of economic health in Greece..

Tuesday in the wake of Moody’s and Standard&Poor’s, Fitch announced that it degraded the notes of Greece. In other words, its ability to repay its debts. Ensures economist Ilias Siakantaris.

What can the EU address the risk of bankruptcy? A priori, nothing. Section 125 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) expressly prohibits same EU member state or flies to the rescue of a State of the Eurozone in trouble while it is possible for the EU countries not members of the eurozone. In negotiating the Treaty of Maastricht in 1991, it seemed obvious that we needed empower states, without a single economic and fiscal policy: the certainty of being saved could encourage more oblivious to anything. However, member states of the euro area knew as early as January 1999 that this rule does not apply: once the single currency was launched, everyone would have more to lose in thebursting of the euro area and flying to the rescue of a defaulting partner.

But the unspoken remained fundamental to maintain a rappel rope in case of slippage in public accounts. The financial tsunami that struck in 2008 on the euro area has changed the situation. The German finance minister, Peer Steinbrck, the unorthodox, so is out of the woods last February.

Always concerned about the debt of Greece, the financial markets continue to decline. Yesterday, it was the turn of Spain to be in trouble. Read the rest of this entry »

In its Monetary Policy Report published semi yesterday, the Bank described three unconventional routes that achieving its inflation target may borrow, given that it has now lowered its policy rate to its lowest 0.25%.

This begins with the unequivocal communication of the medium-term path of interest rates. C’es what she did on Tuesday saying it has 0.25% will remain at least until the end of the second quarter of next year. This transparency is successful, has its eyes, as the bond yield curve has already flattened somewhat to the maturities of two years.

It is in this range that most of the mortgage market is in Canada while it is rather the maturities longer than is the U.S. Federal Reserve, given the characteristics of the mortgage market in the United States.

In can direct rates, the Bank created favorable conditions for the growth of credit, boosting growth and progression rate of inflation to its target of 2.0%. The index of consumer prices slowed rapidly since the summer to come into negative territory shortly without any fear deflation characterized by a general decline in prices.

Experts are now considering this scenario in the Japanese while there are two or three months, it would have seemed completely ridiculous. Last week, the governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, did not rule out the possibility that rates fall sharply, even to zero.

Tail of unemployed grows by 1000 people a day, told the British press Brendan Barber, general secretary of the union movement Trade Union Congress.

The financial sector, has alone could lose 62,000 jobs by the end of 2009. This will contribute to the fall of 14% of the price of luxury homes in London next year (or 30% in two years), according to a study published Friday.

The threshold of two million unemployed in total, should be completed in early 2009. But in reality, the situation is probably worse: nearly a million immigrants (mostly Poles) will leave the United Kingdom in the coming months because of the recession, support of social groups. If they are included in official figures, the country will soon be three million unemployed, twice 10 years ago. Read the rest of this entry »

Credit institutions collect savings to redistribute in the form of credit: they are the link between applicants and borrowers. There is talk of bank intermediation..

The banks are acting on their own account, in the sense that it is they who have their way of funds deposited by their customers, which are related to this one, without their clients do have legal relationship between them.

In the activities of credit, a bank acts as intermediary in reality a larger financial system.

Let’s assume a bank that extends credit to an individual: -this one can grant and have the necessary liquidity, especially in the form of the warehouse.

But it can also extend such credit without having the resources: it will then provide liquidity.

We must therefore understand that in its credit business, the bank saw the differential between the remuneration received from the borrower and the remuneration due to the market.

Why is it so difficult undertake in UK when a microenterprise project? The French institutional framework does not encourage business creation in particular for people who benefit from the RMI or unemployment benefits. Indeed, the laws that govern the creation of companies are often unsuitable for micro start-ups. The complexity of administrative obligations is sometimes a barrier for people with low skill levels. The burden of social workers hampers the independent creation of microenterprises. They are approximately 4 million French who every year want to start their own businesses, 700,000 formulate a project, but only 200,000 who create it. Poor access to capital that is to say, the financing of the company and the complexity of the environment are the two main reasons cited when projects include micro HAPPENS not..

Three articles are available for start-ups: -individual enterprise: it is easier to build and requires no minimum capital.-the LLC requires a minimum capital, two partners and the drafting of a statute.-EURL requires only a partner but always with a minimum capital. The sole proprietorships is particularly suitable for unemployed people and other disadvantaged and candidates who have a microenterprise project (less than 5 people and often one is the most commonly chosen UK. Warning: The status has a major drawback because there is no distinction between the creator of wealth and capital of the company, unless you make a declaration of seizure, (for the principal residence of the contractor) and avoiding entering the house in case of bankruptcy of the company.

The various companies that exist in UK can vary enormously both in terms of number of employees or associates at the level of turnover. Same name includes micro, small and medium enterprises. Each business, as larger companies is identified by a number Siret. Another obstacle to the creation is the fear of failure for the entrepreneur of a micro enterprise: in effect an employee who is out of contract or breach of contract receives unemployment benefits while a contractor is entitled to nothing outside of the RMI. In addition, the cessation of business for an entrepreneur often means a ban on banking. Project leaders are not sufficiently recognized, and neither are the entrepreneurs of microenterprises.
