[Normand]

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the website. I'm an Englishman living in Normandy and I've been teaching English for a few years for a private language school, mainly to company individuals exercising their rights to 'formation' under the 'dif' but I've also taught lots of groups too.
My experiences of working for French companies has not been great and I have registered as an autoentrepreneur in order to work independently, with the intention of prospecting local companies and teaching business English. I've just been made aware that in order to do this I must apply for a 'numero d'agrement' at the regional Prefecture. Having now received the forms, I'm mightily disheartened at the scale of documents required to complete the application. I'm hoping to hear from someone who has 'been there and done it' and who could pass on some tips. Is it a case of 'don't go there' or perhaps it's not as difficult as first may seem? I've found a website which can supply a 'Kitinfo' to walk me through the process but I'm undecided as to whether this is a waste of money or not (costs about 90 euros). Any shared experiences would be gratefully received!!
Best regards. [/b][/i]
