Your activity is not on the list?

The ANAE platform lets you propose a new activity. Otherwise, you can trade as an individual on the trade register, or set up an EURL: compare the options before choosing.

Frequently asked questions

Do these activities need a trade register entry?

No, not as an auto-entrepreneur. You register in the national auto-entrepreneur register, on the ANAE platform, and receive an auto-entrepreneur card.

Is the ANAE code the same as the trade register code?

No. The ANAE list has its own coding, separate from the trade register's activity nomenclature.

What can Neuron Cowork do for me?

This page and the auto-entrepreneur card guide are enough to register yourself, for free. If you would rather be supported from start to finish, full support costs 50,000 DA (40,000 DA with a Neuron registered address), official fees excluded.
