You have a business project in the Lyon area?
Here are a few pieces of information concerning the Rhône-Alpes region economic strength as well as a few administrative and legal tips.
Lyon, with over 2 millions inhabitants, is the capital city of the Rhône-Alpes region, home to 5.6 millions people and 22,800 businesses. Some fifteen foreign Chambers of Commerce, fifty Consulates and forty non-governmental organisations such as Interpol, Euronews, etc… are headquartered in Lyon.
According to Eurostat, the Rhônes-Alpes area is the eighth region in Europe in term of GDP (123,884 M. €) and Lyon’s commercial real estate costs make it the fifth most attractive city.
If you wish to gradually set up your company in Lyon you can settle at the beginning for the liaison office solution; no accounting as such, no composition taxes, and practically no administrative procedures or red tape. You will be able later, whenever you choose, to easily upgrade this liaison office to a full-fledged subsidiary in order to invoice directly from France and provide more back up to your ambitions.
On my side, I am in a position to provide you with a business address in Lyon, telephone and fax coordinates, a telephone answering service in the name of your company and offices and boardrooms on a full time basis or whenever required.
My address book is also at your disposal to support and help you to settle at all levels.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you so desire.
Welcome in Lyon and have a pleasant tour of our site!
