SCI: Why choose company domiciliation?

Choosing the address of your registered office is an important step in setting up a Société Civile Immobilière (SCI). It is publicly accessible, and will appear on all your official documents (invoices, purchase orders, delivery notes, estimates, etc.).

The location of your registered office determines the nationality of your SCI, its country of taxation and the competent jurisdiction in the event of a dispute. The law allows you to separate your registered office and your actual place of work.

This is why domiciliation companies offer their customers the benefit of a mailbox located in the best areas of Paris or other major French cities, enhancing your corporate image, as well as a wide range of useful a wide range of useful services to make your day-to-day life easier.

The latter are adapted to all budgets, and can be subscribed to according to individual needs. Corporate domiciliation is therefore the best alternative to choosing your own home, or renting commercial premises.

What is an SCI?

A non-trading property company (Société Civile Immobilière - SCI) is a company that owns and manages real estate assets. It has a legal personality, and is often a useful solution for optimizing management and transfer, and for sharing the income generated by the rental of a property.

It has a maximum lifespan of 99 years, and is registered with the Trade and Companies Register(RCS). As this is not a commercial company, the aim is not directly to buy and sell property via this company, but rather to rent it out.

There are different types of SCI, depending on the context and the asset needs expressed:

• The family SCIuseful when members of the same family wish to acquire and manage one or more properties together.
• The SCI de gestion, used when several properties are rented out, to facilitate the distribution of income.
• The SCI de construction is generally used to acquire land, build a property and resell it. It is the only legal form of SCI that can be used to carry out a commercial activity.

Each person holding shares in the SCI is allocated a share of the capital. Not only does the SCI make it easier to acquire and manage property assets, it also simplifies their transfer.

Where can you domicile your SCI?

Every SCI must have a registered office address. This is the first step in setting up a SCI. You can choose from three alternatives:

• Your own home: Many people are convinced that this is the cheapest and easiest option to manage. However, the choice of your personal address has many disadvantages, some of which you may never have imagined. In fact, it threatens your privacy, insofar as the address of your registered office is disclosed online in all official public directories, and on all your administrative documents.
• Buying or renting commercial premises: This solution has serious financial consequences, as you need to provide guarantees and a deposit, and commit to a commercial lease. The payment of a monthly rent is sometimes difficult for young companies to bear. The lease term is 3 years for family SCIs, and 9 years for other SCIs.
• Business domiciliation: Using a domiciliation company gives you all the advantages of working from home...without the disadvantages! You'll benefit from a prestigious address to show off your business card, as well as a range of essential services. Let's be clear: the aim of a domiciliation company is to take as much of the administrative burden off your shoulders as possible. Who hasn't dreamed of having their mail sorted and processed on a daily basis? You can also take out a switchboard service, administrative and legal assistance, or rent meeting rooms to organize your annual general meeting, for example.

With a domiciliation company, you can eliminate time-consuming, low-value-added tasks and concentrate on what's most important: managing your property.
