L'ouverture a été très facile et mon interlocuteur très disponible. J'ai recommandé vos services à mon associé qui va ouvrir une société dans les prochains jours avec vous. Seul bémol le temps entre le paiement et la finalisation de la société est plus de 4/6 semaines que de 2/3 jours comme annoncé, mais ce n'est pas grave car le temps annoncé est ridicule donc il n'est pas étonnant que ce ne soit pas respecté.
