What advantages does setting up a holding company in France have over holding assets in my own name? [Reddit]

Answer

A holding company consolidates your shares and simplifies the management of your entire estate, reducing the personal exposure of your investments to the risks of your business activity. Instead of having each asset in your own name and fragmented, you bring them together under a single control structure that gives you visibility and order. This makes future decisions, succession planning and coordination between different investments easier. Holding assets in your own name, on the other hand, leaves each of them more exposed and makes joint management more difficult. Filnet, with local advisers who speak Spanish and are experts in wealth structures, assesses your specific case and supports you through the incorporation and maintenance of this legal and stable structure. This way you protect what you have already built and maintain security and control over all your assets every year. Doing this in France has an incorporation cost from , a timeframe of 3-6 weeks and a corporate tax of IS 25%.
