The legal foundations
for your business in France.

We review your business, shareholders and plans before drafting. Your articles address the governance, decision-making and share transfer arrangements your project needs.

• SAS / SASU and SARL / EURL formation
• Subsidiary and holding company structuring
• Articles tailored to your ownership & governance
• Incorporation acts & signature coordination
• Beneficial-owner declaration & legal publication
• Registration & Kbis follow-up

Every incorporation package includes legal advice and adapted documents. The practical steps we coordinate depend on the scope you choose.

We help founders based abroad navigate the documents and practical steps required to establish a French company, drawing on our experience with international business projects.

• Foreign shareholder & director document guidance
• Banking & capital deposit dossier assistance
• Help finding an independent domiciliation provider
• Certified document & translation coordination
• Coordination with your existing advisers
• Remote signature arrangements where available

We help you find and coordinate with an independent registered office provider. The address and domiciliation agreement are supplied by that provider, whose fees are paid separately. Banks and other financial institutions decide whether to accept an account or capital deposit. Their fees and translation costs are separate.

After registration, we can remain your legal point of contact for corporate decisions, shareholder relationships and contracts. We agree a defined scope for ongoing support.

• Annual corporate approvals & accounts filing
• Changes to directors, capital & registered office
• Corporate registers & governance documents
• Shareholders’ agreements
• Commercial & intragroup contracts
• Coordination with your accountant
