Hello Valerie, thank you for this helpful video. I am also trying to find resources online about starting a creative business in france but I'm not sure which to choose, where to register and how to do the taxes. I'm already in France since February, I have long stay visa for a spouse of French national and I will be renewing it this November to get my residence permit. I am a fashion design before but I am now learning how to be a surface pattern designer (along with watercolor and acrylic classes) and would like to design prints and artworks for selling online through Spoonflower, print-on-demand websites and eventually license them to companies. Can I register as an artist? What kind of business regime to should I register in? I plan to sell digital assets online. Any advise will be helpful and insightful. Thank you so much!

Bonjour Valerie! Thank you so much for your videos. You really provide a great insight into this complicated topic (meaning French bureaucracy). I haven't moved to France yet, but I know that I want to set up a microentreprise liberale (language trainer). Can I set up a French PO box and have a foreign (EU) home adress for e.g. 2-3 months until I find an apartment? Can the PO box also send mail to another EU country/ address? Merci d'avance

@tamaratakac2762 Thanks for your feedback, it makes my day! I'm afraid that at the moment INPI doesn't accept domiciliation for profession libérale, so you would have to wait until you have a French home address.

My husband and I plan to retire to France in 2 years. I know we could get a retirement visa, but I have been a costume designer (theater, film and television) for 46 years. The last 18 years have been private clients and theater. I work for a private school in Los Angeles as the staff costumer. While we are retiring, I know for a fact that as soon as word gets around that I am a costume designer, I will get calls from people asking if I could make them a costume or assist in a production. Besides after such a long time, I doubt my move to France would be successful if I just stopped doing what I love. I am not sure what visa I should be applying for. I think the retirement visa might be easy, but I don't think I could accept work (and most work in theater is freelance). I am definitely an artist, I design and build, but I'm not sure how it is viewed in France. I want to choose the visa that gives me the most flexibility. I would be setting up a studio in my home (when we buy one) as I have here in Los Angeles. Help!
@StartBusFrance Ай бұрын
@user-vc2gy6is9y a retire visa wouldn't allow you to work. If you want to set up as a costume designer, you would apply for a visa profession liberale as "couturière et costumière". I would definitely look for recommendation letters or letters of intent from your previous customers.

@@StartBusFrance Alex is my coach and I completely agree with his four pillars. Naturally having (or training oneself to have) a positive mindset makes one so much more receptive to learning. Taking accountability for creating opportunities, creating routine is also key. In traditional learning settings quite understandably there is so much focus on speaking; as a counterbalance, it has been valuable in my own progress to put as much focus on listening comprehension. Working with Alex has really helped me be more analytical about how as adults we can foster language acquisition in ourselves.
