Starting a Business in France as a Foreigner
Europe Incorporations is a professional service company dedicated to starting businesses in France for foreigners. We create your business in France and get your business licenses in weeks. So you never have to leave the comfort of your home country.
A group of American finance professionals with extensive European work experience formed the company with established local business relationships and deep knowledge of the local business community.
Working with local solution vendors, we create or expand businesses in France for individuals, eCommerce startups, and small businesses. These subject matter experts include lawyers, accountants, human resources experts, payroll vendors, and other financial and legal expeditors.
Additionally, we also provide all backend services to support your ongoing operations. We will handle all processing of transactions for hiring (EOR), payroll, accounting, tax, VAT, customs, statutory filings, and other services.
Our People
In the EU, there is often the local price for services and the one advertised to foreigners on English-speaking websites. Our foreign clients benefit because we secure services as locals and through our local company on their behalf. Our managers live in Europe. So they can visit a local registrar’s office to file your documents. In the same way, we visit a local legal or accounting firm to negotiate a contract or resolve any issue.
We formed Europe Incorporation to service global startups, eCommerce sellers, and international small businesses seeking to enter the European market because we know the market. We are also disrupting the market for existing businesses at the mercy of expensive consultants or Big-4 accounting firms.
Additionally, many businesses are not complying in some areas to meet the filing requirements for VAT within the Union. For example, most businesses must be incorporated within the Union to comply with VAT requirements. Many may surpass the VAT threshold to declare and pay their VAT but need help meeting those requirements. This often leads to severe fines, penalties, or permanent bans.
The eCommerce explosion and the market’s acceptance of the SaaS solutions model have removed barriers to providing services across borders. Post-Covid behavior changes such as remote work have made it easier to deliver service without sacrificing work quality.
For all these reasons, we can deliver a high-quality service at a very low price.
Our Approach
Europe Incorporations ensures completeness, accuracy, and overall quality of the service we deliver for as long as you hire us.
France, our current focus, has a diverse business creation structure for all needs, each with subtle differences, advantages, and disadvantages. So, as part of our general intake process, we listen to your needs and advise you on the appropriate corporate form.
One person will be in charge of starting your business from start to finish. As such, you will speak to that individual at any time throughout the process, with responses and follow-ups in under 24 hours.
You won’t need to deal with the difficult issues of social and tax regimes and labor costs. If our FAQs/questionnaires don’t get you to a conclusion, we educate you on the differences in corporate forms. We will tell you the pros and cons of each. We then start your company and get you ready to start doing business in France in a matter of weeks.
Through our local in-country solutions partners, we provide you with SaaS-based services to ensure your business’s effective and efficient operations. To limit the risks of fines or other penalties, we also provide tax, statutory, legal, and local compliance services.
Our difference
As our client, we will educate you and disclose all important information and requirements upfront. For example, limited liability (LLC) companies in France have different levels of social charges and tax treatment of profit & dividends. This depends on the different categories of managers and employees.
Additionally, business operations in France vary according to the commercial codes. So, the choice of corporate form will play an important role in your ability to manage your company remotely.
Many competitors can’t offer our value (price + service levels) because they lack local expertise. Most can’t seamlessly guide your choices because they lack the “know-how.” They are not in Europe and can’t visit the local commercial court to check on your applications.
Not speaking the local language means they can’t resolve issues locally. They are at the mercy of remote third parties – subject to language and cultural barriers.
Yet, failure to be fully informed of the compliance requirements after starting your business risks leaving you high and dry after its creation. The statutory requirements are mandatory in European countries like France.
⇒Be especially careful of those offering the lowest prices. Hidden fees for services like virtual offices will significantly increase the price to complete the basic company registration. But even if some vendors can create your company, you might still be back to square one. You may still have to find others at additional costs to cure and manage those undisclosed civil and statutory requirements.
Failure to maintain your entity in compliance with the law will result in fines, penalties, or permanent bans.
