02 OUTBOUND · FLAGSHIP
Land in France:
the flagship route
The full French landing for Chinese tech companies: from structure pre-study to the first European contract — five legs, each with an owner and written deliverables. Use the whole route or board by leg.
The most expensive decisions, made before departure: SAS or SARL, capital split, tax setup, pricing.
- SAS / SARL structure and capital design
- French tax pre-study and CIR screening
- Competitor, channel and euro pricing analysis
Deliverable: written structure plan + 12-month roadmap
Stand the company up legally, and keep risk ahead of launch.
- Company registration, bank account, registered office
- GDPR / CNIL audit and data mapping
- Trademarks, patents and IP strategy
Deliverable: compliance checklist + legal note + archivable file
Let the founder actually run the team on site — not remote-control an empty shell.
- French Tech Visa / Talent Passport application
- First local hires and employment contracts
- Paris offices and cross-cultural management
Deliverable: contracts and residence permits ready to sign
From “we have an office” to “we signed”.
- Direct introductions to 200+ French & European decision-makers
- Product localization and native French review (Loi Toubon)
- French media PR and trade-show roadshows
Deliverable: qualified first-client list + introduction log
Range does not have to come from dilution: Europe has a mature non-dilutive funding chain with supply stations from pre-seed to scale-up.
- Bpifrance: French Tech Grant and innovation loans
- CIR / JEI R&D tax eligibility
- EU EIC Accelerator application coaching
- VC roadshows and French-language funding kit
Deliverable: French funding kit + application calendar
Scheme names, amounts and eligibility follow current French and EU rules; approval depends on the project and independent evaluation — we promise no outcome or amount. The full service scope is on the ship systems page.

each with deliverables
From departure to first launch-and-recovery cycle in 6 months on average. Every leg ends with written deliverables and acceptance milestones — progress and owners are traceable, never "paid but no idea where we are".

Compliant incorporation
SAS / SARL incorporation, tax architecture, GDPR baseline, bank account opening and founder residency route planning.
Localization
French localization of product and contracts, UI/UX cultural adaptation, SEPA and Carte Bancaire payments, European logistics.
Market launch
French brand narrative, French media PR, first-customer introductions, channel building and sales collateral.
Scaling
Radiating from France across Europe, Bpifrance and EIC fundraising, local hiring and steady-state team operations.
