Few Key Points
Starting a business in France as a foreign national is entirely possible, but the right approach depends on your nationality and situation. EU/EEA/Swiss nationals benefit from full freedom of establishment, no residence permit is required. Non-EU nationals wishing to actively manage and reside in France to run their business generally need an appropriate residence permit, most commonly the “Passeport Talent” for business creators. Choosing the right legal structure matters just as much: options range from the simple micro-entreprise (note: no longer accessible to non-EU nationals without a permit explicitly authorizing this status, since the 2024 immigration law) to the SASU, SARL, or SAS for more structured projects. We guide you through this choice and the registration process from start to finish.

Management
Business management support
Once your business is registered, ongoing compliance is essential to avoid costly mistakes. This includes accurate bookkeeping, correctly issued invoices, and properly managed payroll if you hire staff, French payslips must show over 30 separate social contribution lines (health, retirement, unemployment, CSG/CRDS), collected monthly through URSSAF. Employer contributions typically add 30 to 45% on top of gross salary, so budgeting accurately from the start avoids unpleasant surprises. Our team helps you set up reliable processes for accounting, HR, payroll, and tax planning so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.
