One month after France's first e-invoicing go-live, what's next for SMBs?

Lessons from Phase 1 of France's mandate and a roadmap for SMBs ahead of 2027

On September 1, 2026, France’s e-invoicing reform reached its first major milestone: large and mid-sized companies became required to issue electronic invoices and submit e-reporting through a certified Plateforme Agréée (PA), and every business in France, regardless of size, became able to receive them.

One month on, what has actually happened in the market? In this 1-hour on-demand webinar, Diego Mersch and Michel Colin from Babelway are joined by Thibault Samson, co-founder of The Invoicing Hub, takes stock of the first phase of the mandate and translate the early lessons into a clear action plan for SMBs whose own deadline lands on September 1, 2027.

In this session, you’ll discover:

  • Where the market actually stands: a status check on the French e-invoicing rollout, one month after the September 1, 2026 deadline for large and mid-sized companies.
  • The early lessons: what caught companies off guard in Phase 1, and how SMBs can avoid repeating them before September 1, 2027.
  • How to choose your Plateforme Agréée (PA): and what to look for when choosing a partner.
  • How Babelway supports businesses of every size: drawing on experience from e-invoicing mandates beyond France.
  • Practical first steps for SMBs: what to do now to get ahead of 2027, without waiting until the deadline is imminent.
