A business centre is, by definition, “a place providing office facilities and services”.
Also referred to as “enterprise hotels” by the high quality services they provide, they’re suitable for any type of company, regardless of their size or legal form and very adaptable. With already some history in France and increasing in popularity, they represent a perfectly valid option to determine your registered address, enabling you to create a company in few clicks.
With all the options available to set up your registered address, choosing a business centre has the following advantages:
Concerning the creation of a company in France, the first thing to consider about business centres is the fact that they offer a domiciliation service, which consists of providing your business with a physical address and mail reception regardless of where you are based. Such domiciliation service can be complimented with others like calls reception, mail forwarding to your personal address while keeping it private, administrative procedures, etc. Summarizing, you can have all your secretariat matters done by the centre if you wish so.
Should you need a place to receive your clients or organise a meeting, it’s possible to rent a room in the dependencies of the business centre, which, in general, come fully equipped with all the office items you need. In this regard, you can have a ready-to-use office when you need, in addition to the possibility of choosing the size of the room depending on the number of people you plan on appointing and the level of privacy you desire.
Another advantage of business centres is that they’re normally located in renowned or strategic business areas of the city in question, which translates into a prosperous projection of your professional activity.
As you probably guessed, the centre is shared with different companies, and because of this, there’s an enormous potential for networking and collaboration while still having the choice to keep your privacy when you want.
By establishing your domicile by means of a business centre, you don’t have any permanence obligations, so you can change the emplacement of your office whenever you want to. Additionally, you may be domiciled in a centre, but rent your premises in other location of such centre or completely elsewhere if you need to.
So what’s the catch? There’s none. You will only pay for the services you hire and that will determine the monthly budget you’ll spend on your premises and services. All that having been said, you should beware your centre of choice. Watch out for the business centre to comply with all the regulations enabling them to operate as such and too-good-to-be-true offers that begin with very low rates and then increase in price after few months.
CONCLUSION
Business centres are a flexible option to start to operate in France. They have a series of features that only such establishments are providing nowadays, and the price ranges according to your demands, so you only spend what you need. Located in prestigious areas, they’re a valuable opportunity to reinforce your image. You only need to provide your company information and it will be registered and ready to function within 24 hours.
