Company Formation
Full French SAS or SARL registration: name check, drafting of the statutes, submission through the Guichet unique for registration in the Registre national des entreprises and, for commercial companies, the RCS, with SIREN/SIRET allocation and issuance of a Kbis extract.
Registered Office & Substance
A French company must maintain a registered office (siège social) in France. We can arrange registered-office services and provide general guidance on the substance and effective management that genuine tax residence requires. Services are subject to banking and substance requirements, and to acceptance by the provider.
Directors & Shareholders
Foreign individuals and corporate shareholders can own and direct a French company. Appointment of a manager (gérant) or president is required depending on the form.
Banking
Introductions to French banks. A capital-deposit account is typically needed for incorporation, and account approval rests with the bank after its own KYC.
Accounting & Compliance
Bookkeeping, annual accounts, business-formalities and registry filings, corporate tax and VAT (TVA) returns where applicable, kept on schedule against French deadlines.
Tax & Treaty Guidance
An overview of French corporate tax, VAT and the treaty network, so the structure fits your plans.
