Electronic signature built for small businesses
SMBs, small businesses, startups and freelancers: sign quotes, sales contracts, employment contracts and purchase orders online in minutes — no software to install, no IT team required. A free plan to get started, predictable pricing as you grow, and eIDAS and GDPR compliance included from the first document.
The constraints of small organisations
With no legal department or IT team, every paper contract is expensive in time: printing, scanning, follow-ups and postal round-trips that delay a sale or a hire by days. Certyneo removes that friction with a ready-to-use electronic signature, accessible from any browser or phone, priced for small-business budgets.
Jeder Papiervertrag kostet Stunden kostbare Zeit
Ohne dedizierter Service binden Druck, Scan und Nachfassungen die Geschäftsführung. Die einsatzbereite elektronische Signatur beseitigt diese zeitraubenden Arbeiten.
Postale Hin- und Rückgänge verzögern Verkäufe und Einstellungen
Ein Vertrag, der mehrere Tage zum Zurückkommen braucht, bremst die Geschäftstätigkeit. Die Fernunterschrift schließt die Vereinbarung in wenigen Minuten über einen Browser oder ein Mobilgerät ab.
Enterprise-Lösungen sprengen das Budget
Angebote für große Konzerne sind für kleine Strukturen zu teuer. Eine an KMU-Budgets angepasste Preisgestaltung bietet denselben Rechtswert.

Frequently asked questions — SMBs
- Does an electronic signature have the same legal value as a handwritten one?
- Yes. The eIDAS regulation (EU 910/2014) and article 1367 of the French Civil Code give electronic signatures the same legal value as handwritten ones, as long as the signer is identified and the document's integrity is guaranteed. Certyneo provides a complete evidence file for every signature.
- How much does electronic signature cost for an SMB?
- Certyneo offers a free plan to get started, then transparent plans sized for SMB and small-business volumes. There are no setup fees and you can change plans at any time. See the pricing page for details.
- Do I need an IT team to deploy Certyneo?
- No. Certyneo runs entirely in a web browser, with no installation or technical setup. You can send your first document for signature in minutes, and your signers don't need to create an account.
- Do my clients and employees need an account to sign?
- No. The signer receives a secure link by email and signs directly from their browser or phone, without creating an account. They then automatically receive their signed copy.
- What documents can an SMB sign with Certyneo?
- All your business documents: quotes, commercial contracts, employment contracts (permanent, fixed-term, amendments), purchase orders, non-disclosure agreements, terms of sale and more. Ready-to-use templates are available for the most common needs.
- Welche DocuSign-Alternative sollte man für ein kleines Unternehmen wählen?
- Das entscheidende Kriterium ist nicht der angezeigte Preis, sondern das Abrechnungsmodell. DocuSign rechnet pro Absendender ab — 10 $/Monat für einen Benutzer, 40 $ pro Benutzer und Monat für das Team-Angebot, öffentliche Tarife von Mai 2026. In einem Kleinunternehmen, in dem der Geschäftsführer, die Assistentin und der Vertriebsmitarbeiter alle drei Dokumente versenden, vervielfacht sich die Summe bei konstantem Volumen um das Dreifache. Eine volumenbasierte Abrechnung, wie bei Certyneo (19 €/Monat für 100 Umschläge, 10 Benutzer inbegriffen), bleibt stabil, wenn das Team wächst.
- Kann man von DocuSign migrieren, ohne bereits signierte Dokumente zu verlieren?
- Ja. Ein signiertes Dokument trägt seinen eigenen kryptographischen Nachweis: Es bleibt gültig und überprüfbar, unabhängig davon, welches Tool es erstellt hat, auch nach Beendigung. Die Migration besteht darin, die signierten PDFs und ihre Nachweismappen zu exportieren, die Vorlagen neu zu erstellen und die Integrationen erneut anzuschließen — unser Team macht dies mit Ihnen kostenlos.
