The SARL-S (simplified private limited company) is a Luxembourg commercial company formed without a notary by one or more individuals, with share capital of €1 to €11,999, whose liability is limited to contributions.
In short
A SARL-S is set up with share capital between €1 and under €12,000 by one or more shareholders who are all individuals. The articles are signed privately, without a notary. The company is then registered with the RCS and its beneficial owners declared to the RBE; the business permit must be obtained before trading.

Next step
Describe your activity: we check the permit needed and send you a written quote.
Yes, the law sets capital between €1 and under €12,000. In practice, higher capital makes it easier to open a bank account and deal with suppliers. Capital is not a cost: it remains available to the company.
No. The articles are signed by private deed. This is the main practical difference from the SARL, and the reason the notary line is marked “not required” in our SARL-S packages.
No. Only individuals can hold shares. For a subsidiary or a holding company, you need a SARL or an SA.
The company can convert into a SARL by amending its articles. We support you through this step.
For most activities carried out through a SARL-S, yes. It must be obtained before registration. Our End-to-end package includes it.
