Brand Image
High-end consumer goods in France are highly esteemed internationally. Therefore, international companies establish part of or directly set up their headquarters in France, due to the high investment value and brand added value.
Investment Environment
France is one of Europe's largest markets, with Paris as a major global financial center and a leader in European venture capital. The country offers a skilled workforce, quality transport infrastructure, and strong IP protections, while the government actively expands policies to attract foreign investment.
Self-Declaration of Value-Added Tax
Since the tax reform in July 2021, all e-commerce companies registered outside the European Union need platforms such as Amazon to declare their value-added tax. Registering a company in France allows you to independently declare value-added tax and reduce tax liabilities.
