How can I set up a holding company in France to protect my investments? [Reddit]

Answer

A holding company is a legal structure that groups your shares and assets under a single entity, which organises and consolidates your entire estate into a single point of management. It allows you to separate business risk from personal assets, so that a problem in the business does not compromise what you have already built. In addition, centralising management simplifies decisions and gives you a clear and controlled view of each asset. For that protection to work, the structure must be properly incorporated and kept up to date every year, not just a simple initial formality. At Filnet we have local Spanish-speaking advisors who are experts in estate structures and holding companies; they assess your specific case and support you through incorporation and maintenance within the law. This way you protect what you have already achieved and gain security and control over your investments without having to deal with the administrative management. Doing it in France has an incorporation cost from , a timeframe of 3-6 weeks and a corporate tax of IS 25%.
