Yes! You can use AI to fill out Formulaire M2 - Déclaration de modification d'une personne morale (Cerfa 11682*07)

Users often check the wrong box or fail to select all relevant boxes in Cadre 1, which defines the purpose of the declaration. For example, they might check 'Transfert de siège' but not 'Déclaration relative à un établissement'. This confusion leads to filling out incorrect subsequent sections and can cause the entire filing to be rejected for inconsistency, delaying the official registration of the changes. To avoid this, carefully read the statutes or the minutes of the general meeting that decided on the change to identify the exact legal nature of the modification before filling out the form.

The 'N° unique d'identification' (SIREN number) in Cadre 2 is the primary identifier for the company. A single-digit typo or omitting this number entirely is a frequent and critical error. This mistake can lead to the rejection of the form, or worse, the modification being incorrectly applied to another company's record. Always double-check the 9-digit SIREN number against an official company document like a Kbis extract before submission. AI-powered tools like Instafill.ai can help prevent this by validating the number's format and cross-referencing it with official databases.

The form explicitly instructs users to fill out Cadres 1, 2, 21, and 22 in all cases. People often get focused on the specific sections related to their change and overlook these mandatory fields for identification and contact. Omitting these sections results in an incomplete application and immediate rejection by the Greffe (Commercial Court Clerk). To prevent this, make it a habit to fill these four sections first before proceeding to the specific modifications.

When declaring a transfer of a head office or establishment, users must complete both Cadre 11 ('ETABLISSEMENT TRANSFERE OU FERME') and Cadre 12 ('ETABLISSEMENT CREE OU MODIFIE'). A common mistake is to only fill in the new address in Cadre 12, neglecting to declare the old address and its status (e.g., 'Fermé') in Cadre 11. This omission creates ambiguity and can stall the update of the company's official address. Ensure both sections are filled with the correct dates and details to reflect the full transfer process.

Many fields require a structured address ('rés., bât., n°, voie, lieu-dit'), but users often enter the address as a single, unstructured line. They may also forget to include the postal code or the full name of the commune. This leads to data entry errors in the national business directory (Répertoire SIRENE) and can cause official mail to be returned as undeliverable. To avoid this, break down the address into the specific components as requested by the form fields. Using a tool like Instafill.ai can automate this by correctly parsing and formatting address data.

In Cadre 13, when describing the company's activities, people often use overly generic terms like 'services' or 'consulting' without providing necessary specifics. The description is used by INSEE to assign an APE code, which determines the applicable collective bargaining agreement and other regulations. A vague description can lead to an incorrect APE code, causing compliance issues down the line. Be as precise as possible, describing the main activity in clear, unambiguous terms.

When filling out the dissolution section (Cadre 9), users frequently check 'Dissolution' but forget to specify if it's with or without continued activity. Furthermore, they often miss the instruction to name the liquidator in Cadre 19A. These procedural omissions are critical and will halt the dissolution process, as the clerk cannot register a dissolution without knowing its terms and who is legally responsible for the liquidation.

In Cadre 19, when a director or officer is replaced, it is crucial to declare both the 'Nouveau' (new) person and the 'Partant' (departing) person. A common error is to only fill out the details for the new appointee, which leaves the former director legally on record. This can create legal and administrative liabilities. Always complete a section for each individual involved in the change, clearly marking their status as 'Nouveau' or 'Partant'.

The form's footer explicitly states 'Signer chaque feuillet séparément' (Sign each sheet separately), which also applies to any attached 'intercalaires' (supplementary forms like M3). Users often sign only the last page, assuming it covers the entire document. An unsigned page invalidates that part of the declaration, leading to the rejection of the entire file. It is essential to review every single page and sign where required before submission.

When the activity originates from a 'Reprise', 'Achat', or 'Location-gérance' (Cadre 15), providing the previous operator's details (SIREN number, name) is mandatory. People often leave these fields blank because they don't have the information readily available. This omission prevents the authorities from correctly linking the transfer of the business, leading to rejection of the form until the information is supplied. This data is essential for tracking the continuity of the business fund.
