Number of companies in France 2021, by size

This statistic shows the breakdown of the number of companies by company size in France in 2021. Thus, out of a total of more than four million French companies, about 156,700 were small and medium-sized enterprises. Note: Since 2008, another terminology has been used to describe these VSEs: the micro-enterprise . However, this economic concept differs from the tax regime of micro-enterprise. In other words, a small business is a micro-enterprise, but does not necessarily fall within the scope of micro-entrepreneur status (formerly called auto-entrepreneur).

本统计数据显示了2021年法国按企业规模划分的公司数量分布情况。据此，在超过四百万家法国公司中，约15.67万家属于中小型企业。注：自2008年以来，用于描述这些非常小型企业（VSEs）的术语已有所变更：微型企业。然而，这一经济概念与微型企业的税制有所不同。换句话说，小型企业即为微型企业，但并不必然属于微型企业家身份的范畴（此前称为自雇企业家）。
