In France, it is possible to distinguish between the address of your registered office and your actual place of business. In other words, it's possible to display a registered address different from your actual place of work.
This choice is one of the first steps in setting up your company. What's more, it has far-reaching consequences: it determines your nationality and country of taxation, as well as the competent jurisdiction in the event of a dispute.
More often than not, entrepreneurs are tempted to set up their business in their own home. However, this solution has a number of disadvantages, not least the threat to your privacy.
In effect, your personal address becomes public, and can be consulted freely online. This is why the use of a domiciliation company is becoming increasingly common.
