Choose Healy Consultants if…
- France is a one-off formation and you want hands-on document support

Common questions
Yes. An SAS can be fully foreign-owned and needs only EUR 1 of minimum capital, though banks expect around EUR 4,000 deposited in practice. A local director is not mandatory. A non-EU national serving as President of the SAS must hold a valid work permit. Commenda, Healy Consultants, and OnDemand International all register the company for foreign owners.
For a one-off France formation you run lightly, a formation agent can be a lower up-front cash outlay. Commenda is the better fit for a cross-border group: it manages France alongside entities in other countries, with VAT, corporate tax, transfer pricing, and consolidation on one platform.
No. A local director is not legally required for an SAS, though it is recommended if you need to obtain a work permit or open a local bank account. Commenda provides resident director services in the countries that do require one.
$10,000 covers the SAS incorporation: legal and administrative filings, tax ID registration, bank account assistance, and the first year of registered office (siege social). VAT registration is $750 one-time, VAT filing and returns are $200/month, and the registered office renews at $6,000/year from year 2.
About 10 to 30 working days end-to-end (KYC and document drafting, share capital deposit, registration number, then tax number), excluding the additional time for VAT number issuance.
