"Nounda saved me from forming a SARL—which would have cost me €12k/year in unnecessary dividend tax. They explained the SAS advantage in 10 minutes that my French accountant never mentioned in 6 months."

"I was going to apply for French Tech Visa because it sounded prestigious. Nounda showed me the 30k route saves €15k in Year 1 costs and gets me to launch 3 months faster. Best advice I got."
"The bank account process was a nightmare until Nounda gave me the 3-bank strategy. Applied to Qonto, HSBC, and Bankin simultaneously—had an IBAN in 12 days instead of the 6 weeks I wasted before."

This Guide Is For You If...
✓ You're based in
Morocco, UAE, or Tunisia and exploring France as your EU HQ
✓ You're building
a scalable business (SaaS, agency) not just seeking a visa
✓ You want unfiltered advice
from someone who's helped 300+ MENA founders
✓ You're tired of conflicting information
and want clear answers on routes, costs, and structure
Why Founders Trust Nounda
Most formation agencies sell you on the "easiest" route (because it's easiest for them), then disappear after handing you a K-bis. You're left figuring out bank accounts, URSSAF registration, dividend tax optimization, and compliance on your own—usually making expensive mistakes.
Nounda works differently. We design your route based on your actual business model, not generic advice. We stay with you through setup and Year 1 operations. And we only work with founders building serious businesses, not visa shoppers.
