Yes, a foreigner can register a SARL company in France. The French legal framework allows non-residents and foreign nationals to establish a Société à Responsabilité Limitée (SARL), which is one of the most common types of companies in France. There are no restrictions on foreign ownership or participation, meaning foreigners can fully own and manage a SARL without the need for a French partner.

To register a SARL company in France as a foreigner, you need to prepare specific documents such as valid identification (passport or national ID), proof of address, and the company’s Articles of Association (statuts). Additionally, a registered office address in France is required, which can be leased or obtained through a domiciliation service. If the company has foreign directors, certificates of non-conviction and proof of legal standing from their home countries may be required.

The registration process involves submitting the M0 form to the Centre de Formalités des Entreprises (CFE) along with a bank certificate showing the deposit of the company’s share capital. Foreign-language documents must be officially translated into French and, if necessary, certified.

Overall, foreigners can successfully register a SARL company in France, making it a viable option for international entrepreneurs looking to establish a business presence in the country.
