Choosing your domiciliation center is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a company, as it enables you to set up your headquarters wherever you want, at lower cost and with a prestigious image. 

What is a domiciliation company?

Company domiciliation is the process of legally registering your business in France or elsewhere. It is a legal tool that enables you to create and manage your business, whether online or offline, in the best possible way.

As you know, if you're starting from scratch and even if you have someentrepreneurial experience, running a business can be an overwhelming task due to its complexity and high level of responsibility. That's why having someone to help you through the process can make all the difference when launching your project.

A domiciliation company is a business that provides a home or address for other businesses, in the same way that a person can have one or more addresses.

The domiciliation company will provide mail forwarding services and provide head office facilities. A registered office is a physical address at which certain legal documents (such as annual returns) must be received by the government.

The main advantages of company domiciliation

Domiciliation is a legal tool that can offer you several advantages:

Choosing to domicile your company in a domiciliation center rather than at home has a number of advantages. Not only do you save money, but you also benefit from the assistance of legal experts.

You've got enough to worry about, so you shouldn't have to worry about whether your home address is accessible to the public. With a domiciliation address, you can keep your business life private and confidential.

The decision to register a domiciliary address is not only a matter of confidentiality, it's also a matter of convenience. Where else can you find a more comprehensive selection of courier services at competitive prices compared to what you're currently paying? What's more, in the event of an emergency or natural disaster, professional centers are equipped to handle mail and parcel delivery reliably, and will be able to provide 24-hour customer service if required.

💡 Direct debit centers offer services tailored to your needs: some offer mail forwarding, while others digitize and bundle documents for easier management.

What's more, most centers also provide P.O. boxes for companies that prefer not to have their head office at a domiciliation center's address. For all these reasons, choosing a domiciliation center like SeDomicilier will save you time and money, while letting you concentrate on what matters most: developing your business.

Whether you wish to set up or domicile a business in a domiciliation center, the costs will depend on the structure of your business and the services you require. However, it's important to bear in mind that some of these costs can be offset by tax advantages.

These can save you money on everything from social security contributions (which are not deductible) to day-to-day expenses such as accommodation, travel costs, equipment purchases and office supplies.
