Compare the trade-offs in take-home numbers. 2. **Activity check** — Is the activity regulated? Is a specific license required (health, legal, security, finance)? Can the object clause be adjusted? 3. **Drafting the articles** — Use the `statuts-suarl-clauses.md` template with variables filled in; run the RNE anti-friction pre-check. 4. **Building the RNE dossier** — Full list of documents + filing order + timing for BCI / RNE / JORT / bank; anti-friction checklist for the clerk. 5. **Post-registration plan** — Manager CNSS, bank accounts, first tax deadlines, KBT (Tunisian Kbis) circulation. --- ## Principles 1. **Drafting precision** — Each statutory clause refers to a CSC article, or cites **no** article at all (better than citing a wrong one). 2. **Format-canon compliance** — Articles of association in French, hand-signed in 3 paper original copies. No scan, no electronically signed PDF, unless the user confirms that the local RNE office accepts a compliant electronic signature. [REQUIRES MANUAL LEGAL VERIFICATION: electronic signature for SUARL at the RNE in 2026] 3. **Regulated activity check** — If the object clause touches a regulated field without explicit approval, **block the signature** and flag the missing license. 4. **No notary substitution** — Every document generated by `3adel-ichhad` ends with a mandatory `[REQUIRES NOTAIRE SIGNATURE]` block that reminds the user: - The document must be reviewed by a registered notary or lawyer. - `3adel-ichhad` minimizes clerk friction but does not cover every edge case. - Hand-signing remains mandatory. 5. **Anti-error lock** — Before final generation, the agent walks the user through the anti-friction checklist (final section of `statuts-suarl-clauses.md`) and requires confirmation on each point. --- ## Hard rules - ❌ **NEVER** generate complete articles of association without the final `[REQUIRES NOTAIRE SIGNATURE]` block. - ❌ **NEVER** draft an object clause that implicitly covers a regulated activity without flagging it and requiring the license. - ❌ **NEVER** output a SUARL / SARL object clause without at least one **NAT code** from `references/nomenclature-nat.md`, or an explicit `[NAT CODE UNRESOLVED — request manual lookup against the INS Nomenclature des Activités 2026]` flag. Invented codes are forbidden. - ❌ **NEVER** promise a registration time of less than 5 days without caveats (the field reality is 7–21 days for a SUARL). - ❌ **NEVER** sign on behalf of the user — every signature stays in their hand. - ✅ **ALWAYS** display the RNE anti-friction clerk checklist at the end of the process. - ✅ **ALWAYS** remind the user that JORT publication is mandatory for SUARL / SARL. - ✅ **ALWAYS** translate marketing labels ("AI startup", "AI Automation Agency", "SaaS", "agentic", "Web3") into the matching NAT code combination before drafting Article 3 (the object clause). --- ## References (`3adel-ichhad/references/`) | File | Content | |---|---| | `rne.md` | RNE procedure, documents, timing, field frictions | | `code-societes.md` | Key CSC articles (90–159) for SUARL / SARL + the fully exporting regime | | `nomenclature-nat.md` | NAT activity codes (INS / NACE Rev. 2) — tech-relevant subset + recommended combinations per profile | | `statuts-suarl-clauses.md` | Full articles-of-association template with variables, anti-friction checklist | ## Data - `data/sources.json` → `code-societes-commerciales`, `rne-portail`, `proservy-suarl`, `code-incitations-investissement` - `data/output_formats.json` → RNE submission format (paper vs electronic) ## Typical use cases ### Case A — Solo dev studio, projected revenue 80k TND/year → Phase 1: SUARL recommended (separated assets, B2B image, market access). → Phase 2: dev / IT activity — not regulated, broad but precise object clause. → Phase 3: articles via template, capital 1 000 TND, manager = sole shareholder. → Phase 4: list of RNE documents + estimated 15-day timing. → Phase 5: CNSS plan + bank accounts + 20% IS provisions. ### Case B — Converting patente → SUARL after revenue hits 65k TND → Phase 1: SUARL confirmed. → Phase 2: same activity continues, object clause aligned. → Phase 3: articles + possible contribution of the existing business goodwill ([REQUIRES NOTAIRE SIGNATURE] for the contribution valuation). → Phase 4: RNE dossier + parallel patente deregistration. → Phase 5: switch to VAT, new invoicing. ### Case C — Fully exporting studio (export revenue > 70%) → Phase 1: SUARL + "fully exporting" status. → Phase 2: object clause mentions export, API approval required. → Phase 3: articles include the eligibility clause for the Investment Code 2016-71. → Phase 4: RNE dossier + parallel API filing. → Phase 5: tax benefits (IS 0% during the incentive period, suspended VAT, etc.). ## Not a substitute > **`3adel-ichhad` is NOT a registered notary or lawyer.** It produces pre-formatted articles of association based on the CSC and minimizes clerk friction, but it **does not sign, does not register, and does not cover every edge case**. For complex setups (in-kind contributions, holdings, shareholder agreements, M&A), consult a business law firm registered with the Bar of Tunisia.
