In France, the address of a company's registered office is its official "place of residence." In other words, it's the address the government uses to send all official administrative mail.

It also helps determine the nationality of the association or company, its country of taxation, and the competent jurisdictions in the event of a dispute. Choosing a registered address is the first step when setting up your company.

Many entrepreneurs decide to register their company in a renowned district in Paris because of the many advantages specific to the City of Lights.

Having your company's registered address in Paris is a recipe for success for any entrepreneur.

What are the advantages of business domiciliation in Paris?

Domiciling your company is a legal obligation imposed on all business creators (whether they are self-employed or creating a company).

In other words, every company must have an administrative and tax address of reference, called the "registered office". This is essential for registration with the RCS (Trade and Companies Register).

Business domiciliation gives companies and associations a load of great benefits:

  • Showcase a prestigious and valuable registered office address in the most sought-after districts of central Paris. Thanks to business domiciliation companies, it is possible to separate your registered office from your actual office or place of work. This means you can take advantage of a wide range of prestigious Parisian addresses to inspire confidence in all your customers and stakeholders.
  • Business domiciliation makes your daily life easier thanks to a wide range of additional services (daily mail management, telephone answering service, legal assistance when setting up your company, administrative assistance, rental of workspaces, offices and meeting rooms, etc.).

Good to know: You can set up these online services from your customer area. For example, you can book meeting rooms by the hour, day, or half-day in a business center directly from your virtual office.

Paris's international appeal is undeniable. According to BPI France, nearly 77,000 businesses were created in the capital in 2020, a stable figure compared to 2019. Despite the impact of the health crisis, the entrepreneurial dynamism of Paris remains intact and should continue to grow in 2021.

Online business address services let you enjoy all the perks of working from home while keeping your private life, well, private.

Also, did you know that the amount of the CFE (Corporate Property Contribution) in Paris is lower than the national average? By choosing a district where the amount of the CFE is low, it is easy to save on taxes.

This is the ultimate business address, a strategic location that opens up many opportunities. It's a hub for big names in luxury, real estate, financial transactions, and business services, etc.
