France is a member of the European Union and the euro area. The société par actions simplifiée (SAS) and the société à responsabilité limitée (SARL) are the forms most often used by international founders. Companies are registered in the Trade and Companies Register (RCS) through the official Guichet unique process.
Supportiamo i fondatori non residenti in ogni fase: registrazione della società, indirizzo della sede legale, contabilità e dichiarazioni fiscali, assunzioni e buste paga, apertura del conto bancario aziendale.
France offers EU market access and flexible company forms.
I principali vantaggi includono:
French companies acquire legal personality upon registration in the Trade and Companies Register (RCS).
The société par actions simplifiée is widely used by start-ups and groups. Governance can be tailored in the articles. Share capital is set by the founders in the articles (subject to other rules for regulated activities).
The société à responsabilité limitée is a classic SME form. Liability is generally limited to contributions. Formation and RCS registration follow French commercial law.
Every French company must have a siège social in France, recorded in the RCS. Official mail and legal notices are directed to that address.
