What we get asked.
I am a sole trader : does Factur-X concern me?
For receiving, yes (all businesses). For issuing, if you invoice B2B above the micro-BNC/BIC threshold, yes from 2027. PrivateCore is ready for both from 1 Sept 2026.
I do my quotes and invoices in Word or Excel: what do I need to change?
From September 2026, every business must be able to receive electronic invoices. For issuing, the obligation follows based on your size (2027 for SMEs and micro-businesses). A PDF out of Word will no longer be enough in B2B: PrivateCore issues compliant Factur-X by default and receives your suppliers' invoices.
I am coming from a spreadsheet or a freelancer tool (Freebe, Indy...): what about my data?
Guided CSV or Excel import: column mapping is detected, you check a preview before confirming, and the import can be rolled back. Your client base is back in place in minutes; your old PDF invoices are archived in the vault.
Compatible with Pennylane or my accountant?
Compliant FEC export, the format Pennylane, Sage or Cegid import, plus a monthly or quarterly accounting pack as a ZIP. Your accountant can also get read-only remote access via Tailscale (encrypted, no file handling).
For a consultant who travels, does it work on a plane / in a hotel?
Yes. The mobile app works offline, syncs when the network returns. iPhone Tap to Pay if you bill per service.
VAT exemption (franchise en base), is it handled?
Yes : the mention "VAT not applicable, art. 293 B of the CGI" appears automatically on invoices, no VAT calculation. Automatic switch to standard VAT if you cross the threshold mid-year.
If I sell my business, can I recover my data?
Full ZIP export (PDF/A-3 invoices, accounting, customer base, deliverables) in one click. An open, reusable format for any other tool or buyer.
