Get Reliable answers on moving & running a business in France

By Valérie Aston on 17 November 2025 · Viewed 44 times · Questions

It can be hard to find reliable information online about applying for a business visa for France, creating and running a business in France, changing rules on Airbnbs/ gites, and working as an artist. And I fully understand that although you might feel stuck with a few questions, it may not be enough for a Power Hour.

This is when the Start Business in France forum comes in handy. You can join the forum at any time for 130€ and ask your questions for a full year 24/7. I will personally answer your questions within 48 hours and add reliable resources whenever necessary. 

If you feel like going around in circles about a specific topic, or if you are going down a research rabbit hole, you can join the Forum and get my help to see through the haze. 

What's covered in the forum?

The form is divided into 9 sections, including topics such as:

  • Micro entrepreneur
  • incorporated businesses (EURL, SARL, SAS, SASU)
  • Business registration
  • Health care
  • Gites, Airbnbs and Chambres d'Hôtes
  • Business visa
  • Artists

How does the forum work? 

You can join the forum at any time, access the Forum’s full history and ask an unlimited number of questions. Whenever you get stuck over the next 365 days, hop onto the forum, search existing answers or post a question. I’ll get back to you within 48 hours. Your membership ends after 12 months - no automatic renewal.

Free Forum access for my course students

Students of My French Business Visa (MFBV)  and Manage Your Micro Entrepreneur (MME) get one year's free access to the form. It's another way to get answers from me in between our monthly group calls for MME or one-to-one calls with MFBV. Which means that non-students also get insights from specific questions on running a micro entrepreneur in France or applying for a business visa for France.

96,000 answers and counting!

The Forum has been going on for almost 17 years now. Next birthday in January 2026. This means a staggering 96,000 questions answered, and still counting. Before you ask, there are no silly questions. If you are thinking about it, chances are somebody else does too.

By joining the forum, you get direct access to all existing answers hidden from public view on this site. You also get to post your first question within minutes!
