TKEG Expat ™ (UK) France SARL Company Incorporation (Complex Structure)
About France SARL Company Incorporation (Complex Structure)
France company incorporation with TKEG Expat ™ (UK) — we form your French SARL (Société à responsabilité limitée) private limited company: name reservation, articles of association, capital deposit, commercial court (Greffe) filing, and publication in the Bulletin officiel (BODACC). Minimum share capital is 1 EUR (founders set the amount freely). A French registered office is mandatory — our Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes, Toulouse and Nice address services cover it. SARL single-shareholder (EURL) structures trigger French social security charges on the sole shareholder up to ~5,000 EUR/year; we recommend two shareholders to avoid this. TKEG Expat ™ (UK) manages remote incorporation end-to-end for non-resident founders.
Service Included
- Register a French SARL company;
- Power of Attorney (PoA) for remote registration of a French company by a lawyer;
- Shareholder background check;
- Apply for a French VAT number;
- Open a capital verification account by a French lawyer.
Memo
- Due to the SARL company type, it requires shareholders to pay annual social security tax in France (up to 5000 euros/year), we recommend that clients provide two shareholders to register the SARL company in France to omit this requirement.
