What are the steps to register a non-profit association under French law and ensure compliant governance?

Question

I'm planning to set up an association under the loi 1901 in France with a small board. Do I need an attorney to draft the bylaws and handle the declaration with the prefecture and JOAFE, or can I file myself? Also, what are the ongoing accounting obligations and annual filings, and how do subsidies or tax receipts for donors work?

Goormorning,
You can do it by yourself. It is advisable to hire a lawyer to draft the association’s bylaws. For accounting obligations, you will need to hire an accountant.
