Register your company in Tours

A registered office address in Tours, wherever you practise

The registered office is an administrative address: the one that appears on your incorporation record, in your articles of association and on your official documents. It does not have to match the place where you work. Registering your business address in Tours therefore gives you a stable professional address in Indre-et-Loire, whether you practise in Tours, elsewhere in France or from abroad. The domiciliation agreement is signed online, your mail is received, scanned and then forwarded at whatever frequency suits you, and you obtain the proof of the right to occupy the premises required at the time of incorporation. Behind the address stands the chartered accountant of Épiphyse Conseil, the firm that Domisiège is backed by, which specialises in the liberal professions.

What your business address package includes

A Domisiège business address is more than a mailbox. It brings together the address, mail handling and support with formalities, with an accountancy firm to back you up.

• A registered office address in Tours for your incorporation, your articles of association and your official documents, together with the proof of the right to occupy the premises required by the registry.
• The receipt, scanning and forwarding of your mail, at the frequency you choose.
• Support with your formalities: incorporation, transfer of registered office, changes to your articles of association.
• Access to a meeting room in Tours to receive a client or hold a meeting, whenever you need it.
• A chartered accountant behind the address, as Domisiège is backed by Épiphyse Conseil, which specialises in the liberal professions.

The neighbourhood and how to reach it

Our address is on rue Jules Charpentier, right in the centre of Tours, in the Halles district, to the west of place Jean-Jaurès. It is a central location, handy on the day you need to collect a letter or hold a meeting. Line A of the tramway, which runs across the city from north to south and serves Tours station, stops a few minutes' walk away, at the Rue Nationale stop. Tours station itself is close by, and the Saint-Pierre-des-Corps station, the area's main high-speed rail link, complements it for the fastest journeys. By car, the A10 motorway connects Tours directly to Paris and Bordeaux.

The competent registry and incorporation

A company whose registered office is set in Tours is entered in the Indre-et-Loire trade and companies register (registre du commerce et des sociétés, RCS), kept by the greffe du tribunal de commerce de Tours (the Tours commercial court registry). Since 2023, you no longer file your application directly with the registry: all formalities for incorporation, amendment and the filing of instruments go through the INPI electronic one-stop shop (guichet unique), which is the mandatory point of entry. The INPI receives your file and forwards it to the Tours registry, which checks the legal soundness of the whole file, approves the incorporation and issues your Kbis extract. The business address comes in at the very start of this chain: it is what you declare as your registered office, and it is the proof of the right to occupy, issued by the domiciliation provider, that makes it enforceable.

The steps and the documents to gather

Setting up follows a simple order. You choose a package and sign the domiciliation agreement online, then we hand you the proof of the right to occupy the premises, the document confirming that you do indeed have use of this address. You then build your file on the INPI one-stop shop, attaching this proof, your signed articles of association, an identity document for the director, the declaration of beneficial owners and the certificate of publication of the legal notice. For a company already incorporated elsewhere, the process takes the form of a transfer of registered office, which requires a decision by the competent body, a fresh legal notice and an update to the register. In either case, we tell you which documents to prepare and when to provide them.

What setting up in Indre-et-Loire really costs

Setting up a company involves statutory costs whose amounts are fixed at national level. They comprise the registry and beneficial-owner declaration formalities, for around 53 euros in total, and the legal notice of formation, whose price has become a flat fee that is the same throughout mainland France. Here are the 2026 amounts, excluding any professional fees and excluding share capital.

Tours or Paris: what really changes

Contrary to a widespread belief, incorporating in Tours does not lower your set-up costs. The legal notice of formation has been a national flat fee since the pricing reform, and the registry and beneficial-owner formalities are charged at the same price everywhere: the same SARL comes to around 230 euros in statutory costs in Tours as in Paris, and a SAS to around 290 euros. What choosing Tours does change is the price of the address itself, since Paris addresses are most often higher than provincial ones, along with the closeness of a registry and of an accountancy contact on a human scale. In other words, you do not choose a Tours address to pay less for your incorporation, but for a more affordable address and closer support.

From another region or from abroad

A registered office address in Tours does not require you to live in Indre-et-Loire. Because the agreement is signed online and mail is scanned, you can run your company from another French region without ever travelling. The same applies to directors based outside France who incorporate a company in France: they need a stable French address for the registered office, a proof of the right to occupy and reliable mail handling, all of which a business address provides. We handle these situations regularly, from remote incorporation to the transfer of an existing registered office, and we point you to the specific issues that a non-resident director should watch for when they arise.

A Tours address does not relocate your taxation

Choosing Tours as your registered office does not move your taxation to Indre-et-Loire. The business property tax (cotisation foncière des entreprises, CFE) attaches to the place where you actually carry on your activity, not to the address of the registered office, and your tax follows your activity and your place of residence. A business address does not exempt you from the property tax either: in the absence of operating premises, the authorities apply a minimum base set by the municipality. The registered office address serves to incorporate your company and to receive its mail, nothing more, and that is already a great deal when you have no professional premises to declare.
