Do you want to invest in France?
Open business in France
The company formation procedure in France is usually based on document gathering and other procedures such as drafting the articles of association, the specimen signatures, affidavits, and other special forms, as well as performing public notary procedures and certified translations.
Usually, a French registered office is also required for starting a company in France in order to have a mailing address to communicate with the partners and French authorities. Opening a bank account and hiring a local accountant are also required for setting up a company in France.
Do you want to set up a company in Italy or open a Branch or Representative office?
The main options to establish a business in Italy are:
- Incorporate a limited liability company;
- Establish a branch;
- Establish representative office;
As opposed to the establishment of an Italian company, a branch is not a separate legal entity but a foreign “unit” of the mother company. For tax purposes, branches are considered as permanent establishments and are therefore subject to taxation in Italy. They shall thus keep their own books, submit VAT and income tax returns to tax authorities (Revenue Agency or Agenzia delle Entrate) each year, and file the annual report of the foreign company with the Italian Registrar of Companies.
Do you want to invest in the Canary Islands or Spain?
- The Canary Islands are the center and crossroad of business between the major Continents. Our corporate and commercial team offers a multidisciplinary approach to our client’s cases to understand their business and to make sure we are providing the best advice.
- Setting up a commercial enterprise in Spain, when the partners are foreigners, may not be so easy. However, the advice and support of an international lawyer could make all the difference, making the whole procedure much simpler.
By choosing our services, you receive well-crafted assistance based on your specific needs.
