Frequently asked questions
Can you help a foreign company set up in France?
Yes: choice of entity, articles, shareholder agreements, commercial leases and employment contracts, in English or Spanish.
Do we need a shareholders' agreement?
As soon as there are several shareholders, an agreement organises governance, entries and exits and how deadlocks are resolved, confidentially, which the articles of association do not always allow.
What is the limitation period for claims between businesses in France?
Obligations arising between traders, or between traders and non-traders in the course of trade, are in principle time-barred after five years, like ordinary personal actions, from the day the right holder knew or should have known the facts enabling them to act. Shorter periods apply in some areas, for example two years for a professional's claim against a consumer for goods or services supplied.
