Definitive Guide - Anyone - Please??

Post by Jacqui »

Hi there

Just come across this forum and have been really impressed as to all the info and advice - and how friendly everyone is!

Anyway - being a "newbie" to this game and having been told various different ways is there anyone who can give me a definitive idea of what I need to do with regards to registering the business.

At the moment we run a UK based LTD company - which is fine - but I am sure I need to register something here for the rental income.....I have been told Chamber of Commerce, Chamber of Metiers, Bureau de Tourisme and Hotel des Impots - so I have duly been to see all - explained what I am doing - only to get a traditional French "shrug" and "c'est pas ici!".
So I am now no further forward.
I have applied to the Prefecture for classification - that is on going - and have a very good contact within the Regional Tourist Board so at least we should get somewhere - but I am extremely worried that I haven't registered the business legally.
We will be keeping the LTD company in the UK up and running and that will be our main business.

Hope someone can help and thank you in advance.

hello Jacqui,
what a brilliant idea and and I LOVE your website! Well done and I wish you loads of luck with your venture. :D

I can't help you directly, because when we set up our business we contacted a UK based accountancy firm who specialise in French accounts and they helped us register everything. They were not mega-expensive either and have certainly given us peace of mind. Please feel free to PM me if you want their contact details.
