Summary
In a SASU in France, decisions are made by the sole shareholder, while in a SAS, certain decisions like amending bylaws or changing the company structure may require unanimity. For a SAS, having one or multiple directors depends on the companys needs. Adding a director involves board approval, amending bylaws, registry filing, and publication, typically taking a few weeks. If a director is unavailable, multiple directors ensure continuity, while a single director with a replacement may delay decisions. Replacement is effective upon board approval, but registration and publication are required.Full Conversation
