Description

As summarized by ChatGPT:

"The CAE Cooperative Structure

A Coopérative d'Activité et d'Emploi (CAE) is a specific model of entrepreneurship that allows individuals to create and develop their own economic activity within a secure, cooperative framework.


Here are its key characteristics:

  • Entrepreneur-Salarié Status: An entrepreneur in a CAE is considered a salaried employee of the cooperative, benefiting from full social rights (like paid leave and a pension) while running their own autonomous business and finding their own clients.
  • Mutualized Resources and Support: The CAE provides shared services such as administrative, accounting, and managerial support, allowing the entrepreneur to focus on their core activity.
  • Progressive Path: A person typically starts with a support contract, becomes a salaried entrepreneur, and has the option to become a full member-associate of the cooperative after a period.
  • Social and Solidarity Economy: CAEs are legally part of the Social and Solidarity Economy in France, with a social mission of creating employability and horizontal power structures in the workplace."
