How we help
Domiciliate your company at an eligible French address
A French company must have a registered office (siège social). A commercial domiciliation service can provide that address under a domiciliation agreement, subject to the provider’s eligibility and compliance checks.
The selected address is used for the company’s registration and official correspondence. Mail scanning, forwarding or parcel handling depends on the service package agreed for the location.
Address availability, mail-handling options and eligibility are confirmed for the selected location and company before activation.
Mail handling
Receive official correspondence and arrange digital forwarding according to the service selected.
Business address
Use the agreed French registered-office address on company records and business correspondence where appropriate.
Process
Set up your company address
We match the address package to the company and the level of mail handling required.
Address selection
Choose an available location suitable for the company.
Compliance documents
Provide the company and identity documents required for the address contract.
Contract activation
Finalise the domiciliation agreement and activate the address.
Registration use
Use the address in the relevant company-registration or update procedure.
Mail management
Receive and process incoming official correspondence according to the package.
Scope confirmed before work starts
We confirm the requested service, the information required from you and any dependencies that affect the work.
Requirements explained in plain English
You receive a clear explanation of the documents, decisions and external steps relevant to the agreed scope.
No authority outcome is presented as guaranteed
Where an authority, registry, bank or other third party decides an outcome or timing, we identify that dependency rather than promise a result.

Common questions
Questions before you start
Does a French company need a registered office address?
Yes. A company needs an administrative and legal registered office (siège social), and the address is part of the registration and corporate records.
Can a domiciliation company provide the registered office?
A commercial domiciliation provider can provide an eligible address under a domiciliation agreement, subject to its regulatory status, availability and compliance checks for the client company.
Is business domiciliation the same as renting an office?
No. Domiciliation provides the company’s official administrative address and agreed mail services. Physical workspace, meeting rooms or operating premises are separate unless specifically included.
