Angela Millward

Remarkable information and assistance

What an amazing service and such remarkable information and assistance! Paying 40 Euros to join the forum was nothing compared to what an accountant would have charged me to offer me similar advice - although I doubt if they would have been as thorough as Valerie. Thankyou x

Delivered without fuss and with the right result

If you want a way through the frustrating administrative minefield that is France, Valérie is THE person to help. I'm very fluent in French but there are times when you need the help of someone who understands the culture and workings of the system intimately. Everything that's ever been asked of her has been delivered without fuss and with the right result. Valérie is a truly outstanding professional and I wholeheartedly recommend her.

John parish



A HUGE thank you to Valerie

I just want to say a very public thank you to Valerie, for this forum and for the help she has given me by email / phone. I was beginning to despair of finding someone who could help with my (admittedly not the usual) situation - I am running a business in France, but am also 8 and a half months pregnant. I’ve been trying to sort out various issues pertaining to this since August 2009, and have not had very much help either from people I have paid to help me, or the authorities whose job it is to sort these things out! Valerie has made the whole process make so much more sense, has handled phone calls and chased people for me, and finally we’re at a point where I can see the way forward and stop tearing my hair out. So thank you Valerie, for a great service and a fab forum - I’d happily recommend you to anyone looking to start a business in France!
Nikki Pilkington

Superb

I spent weeks searching through hundreds of web pages then found everything plus more here in Start Business in France! Superb, Valerie!
