Choosing a site

Location is crucial to the success of your investment. IFA offers a unique service to help you choose a site that best meets your business needs. How does it work?

A network of 154 members of staff in 22 offices around the world

Once your investment project has been defined, different regions in France compete for your project by submitting a tailor-made bid in English with information on the location, infrastructure, accessibility and regional financial support available for your business.
You can then select a bid that fits your specific business requirements. If required, IFA can help you find future business partners or suppliers. We can also arrange for on-site contacts to ensure the process of setting up your business is simple, quick and successful.
