French Republic

Corporate Services in France

Technology and Innovation

Technology is central to the French economy, with heavy government investment in R&D. The Sophia Antipolis technology park near Nice hosts one of the highest concentrations of tech engineers outside Silicon Valley, attracting major companies including Cisco, Intel, and IBM.

Brand Image

High-end consumer goods in France are highly esteemed internationally. Therefore, international companies establish part of or directly set up their headquarters in France, due to the high investment value and brand added value.

Investment Environment

France is one of Europe's largest markets, with Paris as a major global financial center and a leader in European venture capital. The country offers a skilled workforce, quality transport infrastructure, and strong IP protections, while the government actively expands policies to attract foreign investment.

Self-Declaration of Value-Added Tax

Since the tax reform in July 2021, all e-commerce companies registered outside the European Union need platforms such as Amazon to declare their value-added tax. Registering a company in France allows you to independently declare value-added tax and reduce tax liabilities.
