Open a banking service account
A symbolic share capital of 1€ needs to be deposited in a french bank account to continue with the formation of the company.
The problem: most french banks won't accept to open an account for entrepreneurs that are not residents of the company, halting the formation process. Or the business owner would need to travel to France.
The Clevver solution:
- Deposit your share capital and get a pro account in 1 easy step with ClevverBanking
- The entire process takes place online
- No need to travel to France
- Save time and be business ready faster
- Manage your finance in the same Clevver portal as for all your business activities

Why get the bundle instead of buying each service separately?
The regulation for company formation in France requires that:
- Every company that is being formed have an address of domiciliation in France
- During the formation process, a legal notice has to be published in a local paper, in french
- A certain number of rules set by law must be included in the company statutes
- The 1€ minimum start capital must be deposited before the company is opened. But most french banks won't open an account to a non-resident director/shareholder, even less while the company is being formed. Classic example of a "the chicken or the egg first" situation.
And many more...
A company formation without any of the 3 services is not possible.
Let Clevver take care of the entire process, allowing you to focus
on growing your business instead, in France and at home.
