Share Capital Deposit in France from the United Kingdom: What Is the Procedure?
Entrepreneurs and investors residing in the United Kingdom may set up a company in France and deposit its share capital with a French notary.
Following Brexit, UK files are handled as international files, but UK residents and companies may still subscribe to the capital of French companies.
A UK corporate shareholder must provide documents identifying the company, its officers and ultimate beneficial owners. Companies House information may supplement the required corporate documentation.
Funds may be transferred from a UK bank account after prior review of the file and originating account.
The depositary’s certificate can be issued within 24 business hours after receipt of the funds when the file is complete.
After registration, the funds are released to the French company’s bank account.
