    Having moved to France, it is very difficult to communicate with the French on the topic of entrepreneurship and taxes, there are too many nuances and complex terms. I’m glad that I managed to find a person who speaks Russian, but at the same time fully understands the French system. Olga answered all my questions and was very helpful!!! Thank you, I recommend it to everyone!

    I recommend Olga, a responsible and competent specialist. I had a consultation with her regarding running a business, and before that I had a consultation in another place, so there is something to compare with. Olga approached the preparation very professionally, which is very important, she took into account individual circumstances, and clearly and competently explained all the questions that interested me. The consultation was complete and detailed, and allowed us to figure out how to proceed further.

    Dmitry successfully developed his IT project in Russia. But after the start of the war, he decided to move with his family to Europe. An entrepreneur approached me for help with relocation.

    My team and I helped him prepare a package of documents to open a company:
    - registration of a legal address,
    - opening a professional bank account,
    - preparation of a package of documents and company registration.

    Together with an experienced lawyer, we prepared a package of documents and applied for a talent visa.

    Dmitry received a residence permit for 4 years and moved to Paris with his family.

    I also helped him:
    - register an individual entrepreneur for his wife,
    - obtain health insurance for the whole family,
    - optimize taxes by insuring personal financial risks.

    Today Dmitry and his family live happily in France and are successfully doing what they love.

    Valeria's success story began with a decisive move from London to Paris; she always dreamed of owning her own business. Starting out as a small concierge agency, she faced a number of challenges growing her business in a new country.

    However, with her talent for establishing new connections and perseverance, Valeria began to rapidly develop her business. She realized that for further prosperity she needed to register her company. However, not knowing which legal form to choose in order to optimize taxes at the startup stage, she turned to me for help.

    After conducting the diagnostics, I proposed the best option for running her business, taking into account the tax features of France and her personal situation:
    - I helped Valeria register her legal address,
    - provided support in opening a bank account,
    - prepared all the necessary documents for successful business registration.

    In just a week Valeria's company was successfully registered.

    Now Valeria continues to successfully develop Own business in France. Thanks to our collaboration, she was able to overcome barriers and realize her entrepreneurial ambitions.

    FAQ

    Answers to frequently asked questions

    What features of the French market or legislation may affect the creation of a business?

    The French market and legislation have their own characteristics that can affect the creation and conduct of a business. Some of them are listed below:

    • Bureaucracy and regulation: France is famous for its complex bureaucratic system and extensive rules and regulations for business. Setting up a company can take a lot of time and effort, and startups may face a number of formalities and paperwork.
    • Labor legislation: French labor law has strong protections for workers' rights, including a short workweek and numerous paid holidays. This can impact a company's costs and approach to HR management.
    • Taxation: The French tax system is one of the most complex. Tax rates and mandatory social contributions can significantly affect the profitability and financial position of a company.
    • Cultural differences: The success of a business in France may depend on the ability to take into account the cultural characteristics and preferences of local consumers.

    It is necessary to thoroughly research the market, consult with experts and possibly collaborate with local partners or lawyers in order to successfully set up and operate a business in France.

    Can I register my business myself?

    Of course, you can try to register your business yourself. However, the French business registration system has its own peculiarities and nuances that may be unusual for those who encounter it for the first time.

    For example:

    • Language barrier: Most official information and documents are only available in French, which can make it difficult to understand requirements and procedures.
    • Technical limitations: If you do not have a French residence card or a local passport, you will not be able to use the electronic signature and submit documents through the one-stop-shop portal.

    • Expert knowledge of local legislation: We know all the intricacies and the latest changes in laws, which will help you avoid mistakes.
