Stress Free Move

Moving Stress-Free to France (or as close as to stress free as possible) : 3 benefits of hiring experts who do the work for you

Moving to France is an enormous life change. While many companies claim to offer helpful relocation services, what they are actually selling is advice or a form-filling service. Clients need much more than that; they require a detailed strategy and a hands-on team. In short, they require action—not just talk or paperwork. That is why it is so important to find a developed a team of experts. We are equipped with the latest technological tools to allow for the best practical help that will help you make good decisions throughout the entire moving process.

Why Obtaining Help Is Crucial

Currently, French systems and processes are inefficiently carried out by the official departments. The authorities often don’t even maintain their own websites; you could fill out and submit important online forms only to discover too late that those forms are not even being reviewed by anyone. You have to know how to fight the system, and a form-filling and explanation service can only work in a minority of cases. Who you know, rather than what you know, on a national basis is much more important when it comes to achieving a smooth moving transition.


3 Advantages of Relocating With Pros

Coming to France consists of more than just getting the carte vitale (the French health card) or creating a business. It’s about a global perspective in helping and in seeking the help from true professionals, and not from an individual with a few years of experience in doing it “their” way. Moving to France with experts is especially pertinent now, given the exit from the EU referendum. But although the process may not become easier, it certainly shouldn’t be harder if you employ the services of top-notch professionals. Working with pros offers you three key benefits:

1. You don’t have to read thousands of tips and tricks. Far from being helpful, only makes you feel more stressed and unsure of your decisions. When you hire pros, they can help you weed through the options and take prompt action.
2. You obtain hands-on work with an experienced and skilled team. We have a staff with over 30 years of law, IT, and banking experience, with links and contacts throughout the government. This gives you access to a variety of knowledgeable services while also enabling you to mine the rich expertise of a wide range of professionals who are dedicated to work and action, not just talk and promises.
3. Narrows down your vision. No amount of online research can fully prepare you for moving to another country, and our experts will actually do the hard work for you. They help you narrow down what areas you want to live in, what places you desire to be close to, what you can afford, etc.




Take Action: Achieving Your French Dream

When you want to move to France, it’s tempting to begin with too broad of an outlook. Professionals help pinpoint exactly what you want by using their experience to polish your vision, ultimately providing you with a more realistic and satisfactory portrait of your future in France.

• Administration

  

  
  

  If you have ever had to deal with the French Authorities or indeed with any institution in France, then you will know how frustrating and confusing such interactions can become.

• Finance

  

  
  

  One thing the French Authorities seem to be good at is separating you from your money. There are taxes, social charges, contributions, and other subscriptions that may well be levied against you.

• Legal

  

  
  

  The French legal system is very different from its British counterpart. Expats often make the basic mistake of thinking that things work similarly in both countries.
