Au service de votre développement à l’international

Our Company, Glazing Vision Ltd, is based in the United Kingdom and in early 2010 we made the strategic decision to market and sell our products in France. We engaged the services of SEDI Group to assist us in setting up our subsidiary company in France and for SEDI Group to carry out all the accounting and administration services necessary for us to operate effectively in France. We recognize that this venture into France would not have been possible without the professional services provided by SEDI Group, who carried out their services to the highest degree of excellence and professionalism. We have the greatest respect for SEDI Group and we would not hesitate in recommending their services

As part of our mission to support the establishment of foreign companies in Paris, SEDI provides expert guidance to international executives on key issues such as choosing the appropriate legal structure, setting up accounting within the French entity, and explaining the regulatory framework governing human resources management. This information enables international decision-makers to gain a clearer, overall view of their establishment project. Within our network of experts, SEDI guarantees the reliability, responsiveness and personalised support essential to the success of the projects we support together.

After asking many UK companies and government departments about the best way to employ a French national and being told numerous different tales that were not factually correct it was with great relief that I was informed about SEDI and looked them up to ask if it was possible to employ a French national from a UK company. The process to go that further step was all handled by SEDI and the process was in fact a lot less stressful than I first anticipated especially as their correspondence is in English and it has been going approximately 10 months without a problem regarding payments to both the employee and to the French Government on my behalf which is exactly how it should be.

When setting up our offices in France, a meeting with SEDI enabled us to clarify and identify the administrative and tax documents required. The transparency and efficiency of the information provided and the procedures carried out by SEDI undoubtedly contributed to a smooth and swift establishment process. Even today, their payroll services make our work easier and allow us to remain focused on our core business.

I’d be very happy to help with some content of support for all the great work you have done for us, not just the work, but the friendly manner in which it was all done, be proud of this.

We registered our first company in the UK in February 2002, a second in January 2006 and a third in September 2007. SEDI fully handled all administrative formalities and the opening of bank accounts, with very little involvement required from us. From the outset and to this day, we have outsourced the UK accounting of these companies to SEDI. When we recruited expatriates who wished to remain under the French social security system, SEDI managed their registration and contributions under the expatriate scheme, which is far more complex than the UK system. SEDI also has an excellent network of specialised service providers (legal advisors, investment managers, etc.). Finally, their fees are very reasonable. The continuity of our relationship speaks for itself.
