They Choose France

Hannes Wilke

Genesis Projects

“I can honestly say that it would have been VERY difficult to setup the business in France without the help of Business France.”

Cebisile Investment and Advisory (CIBA)

“South African consultancy Cebisile Investment and Advisory (CIBA) in 2022 opened an office in Reims, France, and sees much potential for this to bolster its future growth and development, as well as assist the company in progressing its destination 2025 strategy.”

Christine Govindsamy

CEO of Hashtag MO Holdings

“As soon as I reached out to Business France I was assisted from every step in terms of vetting our Business Plan, understanding what our requirements were, assisting us in understanding the different kinds of businesses we can set up in France, the ones that are most suitable to our organisation and when I had questions these were directly answered.”

Laila Slim

Tropifrais

“I would recommend using Business France as they played an invaluable role in setting up my company in France. It is important for a foreign company to know from the start what we want, why we are going to set up in France and what the company will bring to France. Setting up in France is culturally, economically and socially enriching on both sides”.
