Does the public notary accept share capital deposits for companies created anywhere in France?
Under french law, regardless of the future director’s place of residence and the location of the future company’s headquarters, the public notary acting as the fund custodian accepts share capital deposits for companies being created anywhere in France, thanks to the fully digitized process they are authorized to offer.
As with all acts they are responsible for receiving in the course of their duties, your public notary is competent to process the share capital deposit for companies being formed anywhere in France (both in mainland France and in its overseas territories).
The share capital deposit process is fully digitized, so the founder and depositing shareholders do not need to go to the notary’s office to make the share capital deposit and can do so for a company located anywhere in France. Upon receiving the deposit request and the contributions into the notary’s account, the notary sends the shareholders the custodian certificate (also known as the share capital deposit certificate) in digital format to enable online registration. The original certificate is also sent by mail.
The public notary office Chassaint & Cerclé Notaires assists business creators with the necessary steps for depositing their company’s share capital. For more information, click here.
