Choosing your registered office is the first decision you'll need to make when setting up your company. It's really important because it determines your company's nationality, the country where you'll pay taxes, and which authorities are responsible if there's a dispute.
Why do so many entrepreneurs choose a domiciliation company?
1. Benefit from a prestigious, prestigious address
Thanks to domiciliation companies, you can separate your head office from your actual place of work. In this way, you can benefit from a wide range of prestigious addresses to earn the trust of all your stakeholders. It's up to you to choose the one that suits you best, depending on the image you wish to convey of your company.
2. Lighten your daily routine and save time with a wide range of complementary services
Business address providers offer many services designed to outsource time-consuming and low-value tasks: daily mail management, telephone answering, legal assistance, administrative support, meeting room rentals, etc. These services can be chosen individually based on the company's needs and budget.
3. Save money!
Setting up your company's address helps cut down on your head office costs and setup expenses. Plus, you can optimize your taxes by choosing areas with low CFE (Corporate Property Contribution). Aix-en-Provence is pretty appealing in this regard, and companies located there can also benefit from lots of support programs.
All your services are then available in a personalized, secure virtual office.
Business domiciliation allows you to focus on the tasks with the highest added value: the ones that truly make your business successful!
