Question 28484 — self-employed and self-employed

Summary

Mr. Jean-Paul Lecoq alerts the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the support system for “self-employed” for whom activity has been reduced, or even non-existent, since the start of the fight against the spread of covid-19. While there are more than 2 million companies with fewer than 10 employees in France, the support system put in place by the Government should only cover 600,000 companies. According to the Union of self-employed and small businesses (SDI), many precarious self-employed people will be excluded from this system because, to be concerned, you must receive less than one million euros in annual turnover and demonstrate a loss of at least 70% in March 2020 compared to March 2019, which already excludes all companies created less than a year ago. For the SDI, no distinction should be made between companies legally closed by decree and those closed in fact due to lack of customers, due to a disruption in supply or due to health objections to maintaining activity. This is the case for food businesses, some of which suffer losses lower than what would allow them to be compensated by the State but which still places them in great financial difficulties. This is also the case for certain branches which have chosen to close for reasons health professionals, such as orthoptists, dentists or physiotherapists. Not taken into account by the decree, these companies are today in great difficulty and threaten to collapse an entire section of an already moribund city medicine in France. The self-employed are therefore asking for a reduction in their charges for the months affected by the epidemic and not simply a moratorium. He asks her to review the conditions of attributions of the support system and thus allow a greater number of self-employed workers to benefit from it.
