Legal certification & apostilles, document retrieval & translation, company checks & profiles

During the life of your company there may come a time when you need to provide the government, banks or even providers or clients with legal documents of your company.

When you have incorporated your company abroad, you might also want to have a full set of documents that you can use in your country. Therefore these documents need to be certified in a way that they have a legal value in your country and in your language.

You may also find it useful when entering into a business relationship to check the company you will potentially be working with. Is this a company of good standing? Do they have any pending legal judgements? Is their cash flow situation acceptable?

Euro Start Entreprises can help you with all document related services including document retrieval, document legalizations and company checks.

Document Retrieval

In order to open a bank account, provide information to the tax authorities or set up a new contract, you will have to provide certain documents for your company. We can help you retrieve documents when available such as:

• By-laws
• Memorandum & Articles
• Certificate of Incorporation
• Certificate of Good Standing

Document Legalisation

If you have a document that you want legalised for use in another Hague Convention country, the Convention certification called an "apostille" must be attached to the document by a competent authority. The apostille is a pre-printed form prescribed by the Convention. Only those nations party to The Hague Treaty will recognize the apostille certification.  

Many jurisdictions will certify all documents, however some countries have either limited access or discretionary access to documents.

At Euro Start Entreprises, we can help you with:

• Legalisation and apostilling of documents – Europe and Worldwide
• Notarisation of documents - Europe

Business Information Reports & Worldwide Company Checks

Euro Start Entreprises can provide company profile reports that give a wide perspective and expert analysis of a company's financial condition, payment reliability, and commercial reputation concluding with our unbiased opinion of the associated business risks.

When setting up and registering your company in France, one of the first and most essential tasks to get your business off the ground is to open up a French bank account. This sounds like an easy procedure but the French administration can sometimes makes it strict. Luckily for our clients and thanks to our knowledge and experience of local banking regulations, we reduce any difficulties in opening a French bank account for foreign investors and entrepreneurs.

With our strong relationships with major French banking groups, our bilingual experts can guide you through the process – making sure you have all the required documentation and setting up appointments so that delays are kept to the minimum. We take care of all the paperwork involved in setting up a business bank account and are on hand to answer any questions to make sure our clients progress as quickly and successfully as possible through the system. And with our banking contacts we can negotiate a low minimum turnover threshold for your business account.

We can open bank accounts both remotely and in person and if you do not speak French, we have a local representatives on hand to assist you in person through any meetings. And when it comes to making your share capital deposit we can help sort out a workable amount for your business. The previous share capital for opening a business account used to be €7,500 for a SARL but luckily that’s now been reduced and can be negotiated.

We have also partnered up with a well-regarded private French bank which allows us to open business bank accounts for foreign entrepreneurs more quickly and smoothly than the high street banks and includes all banks transfers, debit cards, card processing and ebanking - with one of the lowest fees for any business bank in France. The ebanking system can even allow you to attach invoices to payments to help your accounting.

The French have a world-class banking network and there’s a wide range of financial institutions with expertise in arranging international financial transactions and transfers. On top of commercial bank loans, there’s also plenty of tax and subsidy incentives for new and innovative companies so be sure to check with your tax advisor or accountant. We have highly qualified chartered accountants to help you should you need a consultation.
