FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which countries and regions can you actually support us in?

We coordinate the process wherever you are expanding, through local partners built up over more than twenty years of activity. We are not limited to a fixed list of countries.

Do you support French companies developing outside France?

Yes. We support both French companies and international groups in their development beyond France: expansion strategy, structuring abroad and coordination of our local partners.

Do you work only on strategy or also on operations?

Both. We define the expansion strategy, then support you in its execution: structuring, setting up processes, consolidated reporting and performance management.

Do you help French companies expand abroad, or only foreign companies coming in?

Both. We support French companies expanding abroad and foreign companies setting up in France; this has been the core of our activity since 2003.

How do you coordinate local advisers in other countries?

We select and brief local partners for each project and stay your single point of contact throughout. You deal with us, not with separate advisers in every country.

Can you assess permanent-establishment and VAT risk in a new market?

Yes. We review your planned activity for permanent-establishment and VAT exposure before you set up, and flag the structuring choices that reduce that risk.

Can you support secondments and posted workers abroad?

Yes. We support the structuring of secondments and posted-worker arrangements, coordinating with our local partners on social security and labour-law compliance in the destination country.

How long does a typical market-entry project take?

This depends on the country and the structure you choose: a few weeks for a simple setup, several months for a fully operational subsidiary. We set the timeline with you at the start of the project.

How much does an international development or market-entry project cost?

The fee depends on the countries involved and the scope of the project, from a single market assessment to full multi-country structuring. We provide a quote after understanding your expansion plans.
