Description
Disclaimer: This page does not set out to give anything other than a glimpse of certain aspects of this area of French Law and professional advice should always be sought from a duly specialised French practitioner prior to undertaking any steps whatsoever.
To find initial information on French companies, it is possible to consult (free of charge) a French web site www.societe.com (no accents) and, by entering the company name under 'Entreprise' as well as the first two figures of the five digit postal code under 'Département', you will be able to see the date of formation, the names of the officers, the last accounts filed etc.
Please note however, that the site is only in French and is often slightly out of date and the information obtained should not be considered to be definitive in any circumstances. A formal check with the Registre du Commerce et des Sociétés (French Companies Registrar) should be always carried out if it is necessary to rely on the data.
