For both individuals and businesses, those newly arrived in France, or those who have been here for quite some time, there are many things to arrange in order to get connected and enjoy life to the full.
Experience has shown that individuals are most concerned with obtaining French residency, (Titre de Séjour), obtaining healthcare and paying their French taxes. Whilst businesses are concerned with registering, paying French business taxes, managing accounts and adhering to business regulations
Networking & Social events
However, getting connected doesn’t just mean administration, The Franco British Network regularly organises networking events to meet up at selected venues, usually a business of an existing member. There is the chance to showcase the member’s business, make new contacts, network and generally share business and personal experiences of life in France.
