Colombes is a peaceful and attractive city in the Hauts-de-Seine department. Many entrepreneurs choose to settle in Colombes because of the numerous initiatives that support entrepreneurship.
Explanations.
The Hauts-de-Seine is like a picture-perfect postcard: the name itself conjures up the idea of a prestigious address, which boosts your company's credibility and trustworthiness for everyone involved.
Hauts-de-Seine is considered a dynamic department, boasting a privileged connection with western Paris.
The département has more than 127 jobs for every 100 working residents, and accounts for 26% of all office space in the Paris region. Above all, 37% of the department's working-age residents are executives, and it is home to 13% of the metropolitan area's companies.
Hauts-de-Seine has another unique advantage: the department is structured around two business districts whose attractiveness extends beyond the country's borders and concentrates 33% of the region's research and development expenditure.
The most emblematic is the Quartier de La Défense, known the world over as the economic heart of the Paris region. It brings together all types of companies, from large corporations to small SMEs, so that everyone benefits from collective emulation.
More than 8 million people visit La Défense every year, and 25,000 of them live there!
The Val-de-Seine business district is located in the town of Issy-les-Moulineaux and is mainly made up of executives, whose average age is 34. It's particularly dynamic and home to the headquarters of many major French and international groups, as well as smaller companies.
However, these areas have sometimes seen real estate prices rise very rapidly, at the risk of becoming very expensive for small businesses. Fortunately, other more competitive alternatives exist in this region.
Located at the gates of the famous La Défense district and at the gates of Paris, Colombes is a rapidly developing economic center.
You can find several support and information programs for business creators. The city has designated the economic affairs department as the preferred point of contact for entrepreneurs, in order to answer all their daily questions.
With a thousand businesses operating in Colombes, the city has created a comprehensive guide to support business creators.
The Club Colombes Expansion is a place for discussion and networking open to all SMEs with more than 20 employees, mid-sized companies and large groups. It establishes a regular dialogue to foster synergies between the various players in economic life.
Club members include Arkema, Oracle, ALE International, Snecma, Hispano-suiza, Leclerc, Shell, Courtyard by Marriott, Kyriad, Jaguar Land Rover, Teksial, Arelis, Aveo Services, Butard Enescot, SNEF, and more.
The Business Creation Bus regularly visits Colombes for one week each year to meet with locals. It offers personalized appointments for all entrepreneurs to answer their questions and guide them through the process.
Also, « job dating » events make it easier to match job offers with job seekers locally.
Choosing the address of your company's registered office is the first step to take when setting it up. Also known as the domiciliation address, it determines the company's nationality, the country where it pays taxes, and the jurisdictions that are competent in the event of a dispute. Your registered office address is particularly important because it must appear on all of the company's official documents.
French law allows entrepreneurs to use the services of domiciliation companies to dissociate their registered office address from their actual place of work.
This way, you can enjoy all the benefits of working from home without ever publicly revealing your personal home address to your clients, suppliers, or other contacts. It's the preferred method for entrepreneurs who want to protect their privacy and that of their family.
This is the ideal alternative to renting commercial premises or choosing your personal address to register your company.
Business address providers also 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.
You can pick and choose these services à la carte based on your company's needs and budget. With SeDomicilier, you can get your proof of address online in under 5 minutes!
All your services are then available in a personalized and secure virtual office. Company domiciliation lets you really focus on the high-value tasks that make your project successful!
