France is home to talented digital marketers, content creators, and SEO specialists who work with clients across Europe and beyond. But managing a business in France comes with administrative complexity, high social charges, and rigid tax structures.
Luckily, digital professionals now have a smarter alternative. By setting up an EU company online, like in Estonia, French marketers can enjoy a streamlined, remote-friendly business setup with lower overheads and global flexibility.
In this guide, we’ll explain how French digital marketers can start a company online, the benefits of a European business structure, and how Unicount makes it effortless.
Why French digital marketers are going remote
- High social charges (cotisations) and complex tax reporting (URSSAF, TVA)
- Limited support for freelancers invoicing international clients
- Bureaucratic hurdles for solo entrepreneurs (auto-entrepreneur limitations)
- Demand for flexible, digital-first business solutions
Many French marketers work globally—but their business setup is still local.
A better option: Starting a company online
- Fully digital setup—no in-person notary or paperwork
- Legally recognized EU company with minimal costs
- Remote-friendly, ideal for freelancers and digital nomads

A borderless business deserves a borderless company.
