A village economy beside a technology park
Valbonne has two sides. The old village, laid out on a grid plan in 1519, has shops, restaurants, craftspeople and a good number of self-employed professionals. Part of the commune also belongs to Sophia Antipolis, where many residents work.
International families are well established here. The Campus International de Valbonne, a state school inside the technology park, has about 2,300 secondary pupils and offers international sections in six languages, English among them.
This page covers the local economy of the commune. Start-ups, research tax credits and foreign subsidiaries are covered on our Sophia Antipolis page.

Your questions about
an accountant in Valbonne
I am a consultant living in Valbonne. Should I set up a SASU or an EURL?
Both are single-owner companies. In a SASU the director has employee-like social cover, which costs more in contributions on salary. In an EURL the owner-manager is treated as self-employed, which costs less day to day but gives different cover and treats dividends differently. We run a comparison on your expected turnover and income needs before anything is registered.
Can I use your Valbonne address as the registered office of my company?
Yes. Domiciliation is one of our services and is provided from the office at 230 Route des Dolines. Your company uses this address as its registered office, under a domiciliation contract. Terms are given on request.
What are the opening hours of the Valbonne office?
We receive clients by appointment from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. Video calls on Microsoft Teams are available for clients who travel often.
