Looking to become an independent delivery rider for Uber Eats, Deliveroo, or another platform?

Good news: the micro-enterprise status is the fastest and easiest way to start legally and hassle-free.

Here’s everything you need to know 👇


✅ Why choose the micro-enterprise status?

Most platforms require you to be a self-employed contractor to get paid.

Micro-enterprise is:

  • Quick to set up, 100% online with Candosa

  • 💸 Based on low, proportional social charges (around 22% of your revenue)

  • 📃 Requires minimal accounting

  • 💥 Compatible with unemployment benefits like ARE or ARCE


🚴‍♀️ Delivering by bike or light scooter

  • No certification needed

  • You just need a bike or scooter, a smartphone, insurance, and a bank account

  • No training or exam required


🚗 Delivering by car? Beware of DREAL requirements

If you plan to deliver using a car or a powerful scooter (above 50cc), regulations are different:

  • You fall under light freight transport regulation

  • You’ll need a DREAL certificate (also known as “capacitaire de transport léger”)

    • This requires around 105 hours of training

    • A written exam

    • And fees between €1,000 and €2,000 depending on the training provider

⚠️ Important: This certification is mandatory and involves time, cost, and effort.

💡 Our recommendation: if you’re just starting out, begin with a bike or light scooter to avoid legal complexity.
