Business domiciliation in a business centre

What is business domiciliation?

Business domiciliation means assigning an official address – legal, tax and commercial – to a company or a sole trader, including micro-entrepreneurs. This address is used to register the business and appears on its administrative and commercial documents.

What are the benefits of business domiciliation?

  1. Savings: reduce the costs of renting and running business premises.
  2. Security and privacy: keep your home address private and separate your personal and professional life.
  3. Image and credibility: benefit from a prestigious business address for your clients and partners.
  4. Flexibility and freedom: have a business address without renting permanent offices, while still being able to use one occasionally.
  5. Simplicity and time savings: benefit from professional mail handling and focus on growing your business.

How do you choose the right domiciliation centre?

Choosing a domiciliation centre should not be based on price alone. Several criteria deserve your attention:

  • prefectoral approval, which is mandatory to operate as a domiciliation provider;
  • experience and longevity, a guarantee of stability and know-how;
  • clear, detailed quotes with no hidden costs;
  • the quality of the welcome and services, particularly mail handling;
  • compliance with regulations and professional obligations;
  • respect for each profession's remit: legal and accounting services are the preserve of lawyers and chartered accountants.

A reliable domiciliation provider should offer you much more than just an address: a dependable, transparent and professional service over the long term.

Can a secondary establishment be domiciled?

No. Our domiciliation service is reserved for companies' registered offices.

Why choose Assist'Entreprises in Cannes?

Why choose rue d'Antibes to domicile your business in Cannes?

The true commercial heart of Cannes, rue d'Antibes combines prestige, economic dynamism and local life all year round. Unlike the Croisette, best known for its palace hotels and luxury fashion houses, it stands out for the diversity of its shops and services, at the heart of everyday life in Cannes.

Located at 37 rue d'Antibes, a stone's throw from the Palais des Festivals, Assist'Entreprises offers you an address that enhances your professional image, close to shops, services and the main business venues in Cannes. You combine this prime location with the experience of a business centre established in Cannes since 2004.

Why choose an independent business centre that belongs to a national network?

Since 2004, Assist'Entreprises has focused on the proximity and friendliness of a human-sized centre: Laurence, the manager, is your single point of contact and knows her clients and their needs personally.

Being independent does not mean being isolated. Our membership of the BuroClub national network and of SYNAPHE encourages the sharing of best practice, regulatory monitoring and regular participation in training and professional events. Our clients also enjoy exclusive benefits in BuroClub centres, present in many French cities, including Paris.

Do your services remain available during conventions and events in Cannes?

Yes. Located a stone's throw from the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, we have chosen to put our clients and the continuity of our services first all year round, including during the major professional events that punctuate life in Cannes.

Rather than privatising our spaces for one-off events, our priority remains their availability and the quality of the welcome we offer our regular clients: a lasting relationship and consistent service, whatever the time of year.

Assist'Entreprises: your business remains our priority, even during conventions.

Can Assist'Entreprises help you with legal and administrative formalities?

Yes, by referring you to the right professionals. Company formation, drafting of articles of association, amendments or legal advice: each request is entrusted to the appropriate professional, in compliance with the regulations.

We do not ourselves provide legal or accounting services reserved for regulated professions, but we work with trusted lawyers and chartered accountants. Each to their own trade, each to their own expertise. Find out more about our administrative support

In practice: how do our services work?

Which companies can be domiciled when setting up or transferring a registered office?

Our centre accepts a range of legal forms: SARL, EURL, SAS, SASU, SCI, holding companies, sole traders and micro-entrepreneurs, as well as liaison offices of foreign companies.
