A business center: what is it?
Designed for businesses, a business center offers a range of services to facilitate their daily management. SeDomicilier supports professionals by offering them business address services for their registered office as well as tailored solutions to optimize their organization and performance.
Business center: a definition
A business center is a professional space. It consists of premises made available to entrepreneurs. A business center is located in a building, in the city center or on the outskirts within a business park.
The business center consists of modular spaces. It is common to find:
- equipped offices;
- coworking and relaxation areas;
- meeting rooms;
- conference rooms, etc.
Entrepreneurs have spaces and equipment adapted to their needs.
Opt for a business center when launching your business
Companies that are growing would do well to look into renting equipped offices. This lets them cut down on operating costs when they're just starting out. Renting office space can be a big expense, and the space you get might not always be the right fit for what you need.
A business center is perfect for giving you the space you actually need for your activities. Benefit from à la carte services to support you every day: mail management, telephone switchboard, legal advice, etc.
Which companies is a business center for?
Business centers can host all types of companies:
- sole proprietorships: individual businesses (EI), micro-businesses;
- single-person companies: EURL, SASU;
- Standard companies: SARL, SAS, SNC, SCI, etc.
Whatever your business sector, you have the option of using the services of a business center to register your company's address.
All structure sizes are accepted:
- individual entrepreneurs and the liberal professions;
- local or national companies;
- very small businesses (TPEs);
- small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs);
- large companies.
Young entrepreneurs and business creators really dig the flexible options business centers offer. They help cut down on costs when you're just starting out and let you focus your resources on growing your project.
What are the advantages of business domiciliation in a business center?
Setting up the registered office of your company in a business center has advantages. Let's explore domiciliation solutions together.
Having an official administrative address
The main purpose of a business center is business domiciliation. It allows entrepreneurs to have an official address for their company headquarters. Remember, it's a legal requirement when you're setting up your company or individual business.
The registered office is the address on your company's Kbis extract (official registration document). It needs to be on all your tax, social security, and business documents. The registered office determines the company's nationality and tells you which legal and tax authorities are in charge. It's also used to calculate the business property contribution (CFE).
Keep your personal life separate
Many freelancers choose to have their business address at their home. This saves them money on operational costs, but it can impact their privacy. Using your home address as your registered office can be risky because clients and service providers can access this personal information.
Remember that the address of a company's registered office is disclosed on websites that contain essential information about its business: turnover, SIRET / SIREN number, business sectors, name of the manager, etc.
The address of a company's registered office must appear on the following documents:
- Quotes and invoices sent to clients;
- invoices issued by service providers;
- employment contracts and payslips;
- the company's website.
For around twenty euros per month, freelancers can enjoy real peace of mind by protecting their personal lives thanks to business domiciliation. By domiciling their business at their home, entrepreneurs miss out on legal and administrative assistance included in some business domiciliation contracts.
Boost your brand image
A business center usually offers a great location for companies. Clients and service providers pay attention to the address of the registered office, which is an integral part of its brand image.
SeDomicilier offers prestigious addresses in Paris and major French cities: Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Nice, Cannes, Lille, Nantes, etc. Take advantage of your business address in a prestigious area to develop your brand image.
Rent offices and equipment tailored to your needs
Business address registration offers spaces tailored to what you need. You only pay for the space that’s essential for your business.
You can benefit from services such as:
- a high-speed internet connection;
- audiovisual equipment for your meetings or presentations;
- computer equipment such as printers;
- receiving, scanning, and forwarding mail;
- meeting rooms;
- A coworking space, like in a business incubator;
