Types of legal business structures in France
Our expertise lies in aiding in the establishment of different types of companies, making sure that the structure of your business is fully compatible with your goals.
Private Limited Company (Société à Responsabilité Limitée)
Small and medium-sized businesses frequently choose the Private Limited Company structure in France. This allows for a minimum capital of only €1, making it a cost-effective option for entrepreneurs. A major benefit is the limited liability for directors, ensuring they are not held personally responsible for debts. Our team can assist with the registration process for this company type in France.
Public Limited Company (Société Anonyme)
Big companies often opt for the Public Limited Company in France because of its flexibility in share transfers and shareholder anonymity. Although there is a minimum capital requirement of €37,000, this type of company allows easier access to new partners and provides great protection to creditors. We are here to assist you throughout the process of registering your company in France.
Branch Office
An extension office, also known as a branch office, is a way for a parent company to conduct business in a different location while keeping its original legal identity. Opting to establish a branch office in France can be beneficial for companies seeking to broaden their presence in the country without the requirement of forming a new legal entity. Through operating as a branch, the parent company can make use of its current brand reputation and resources while accessing new markets. We provide extensive assistance in navigating the complexities of establishing and overseeing a branch office in France, guaranteeing a seamless and compliant entry into the market.
Holding Company
A holding company is frequently used as a strategic tool to oversee other companies by owning their shares. In France, creating a holding company can result in benefits like centralized management, risk spread, and tax perks. Operating your business as a holding company allows for efficient management of multiple subsidiaries, smoother decision-making, and improved tax planning. Our team of experts offers personalized support to aid in setting up and running a holding company in France, ensuring adherence to regulations and maximizing your corporate structure's effectiveness.
