Representative Office

Representative Office (“Bureau de Représentation”)

A French representative office is an extension of a foreign parent company in France that intends to establish a presence in France to conduct market research, promotional activities, or other non-transactional operations.

It cannot actively trade/conduct any sales activity and is only a contact point to introduce potential clients to the foreign parent company’s products and services and to familiarize the foreign parent with the local market through this office.

As an extension of a foreign parent company with full liability over its activities, the representative office is registered with the local Companies Formalities Center for its tax identification number to open a bank account and track VAT. Still, it is not required to register with the official Registry of Commerce and Companies (RCS).
