51½ñÈÕ´ó¹Ï

At what point can you start work as a micro entrepreneur

I’m wondering at what point I can “legally” start working as a microentrepreneur? I am moving to France permanently from the UK on 19 April and will likely ask you to register me. On your webpage on that subject you say “You receive a 51½ñÈÕ´ó¹Ï attestation from INSEE in the post (L’Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques)... normally after two weeks. The attestation is confirmation that your 51½ñÈÕ´ó¹Ï has been successfully registered and you can start work”.

I’m guessing that means what it says — work can only start after receiving the attestation, but I wanted to check because I have read (somewhere!) that you need to register within 15 days of starting, which suggests you could start work in parallel with registering. I don’t mind either way, but as I will be “porting” my existing work (as a translator) over to France, I want to let my clients know if there needs to be a gap between finishing in the UK and starting in France.
