Company Creation in France


We receive many questions from our Turkish and foreign friends regarding the processes of setting up a company in France. In this article, we will share with you some useful information to shed light on these questions.

I am a Turkish citizen, can I set up a company in France?

Yes, it is possible for you to set up a company in France.

If your main residence remains in Turkey, there is no obstacle to you setting up a company in France.

However, if you plan to both reside in France and set up a company here, you will first need to obtain a residence permit in France.

Obtaining a residence permit through the classic routes can usually take a considerable amount of time.

Nevertheless, if you have more than five years of experience in your field of expertise, or if you have at least a master's degree, and if you have a realistic, serious business idea, and if you plan to set up a company with an investment of at least EUR 30,000, you can apply for a special visa called the "Passeport Talent Création d'entreprise".

For this visa, it is essential that the company you are going to create is based on a solid and viable business idea. It is important to support this idea with detailed business plans and financial forecasts.

If your application is accepted, you will initially have a one-year residence and work permit. This permit can then be renewed for periods of four years upon application.

The process of setting up a company in France is generally easy and fast. By following the correct steps, you can set up your company in about two weeks.
