I have the good fortune of working with KeyPoint International from Canada to grow our business in France, and their support has been a real asset for OVA.

Thanks to their team, we were able to structure our setup in France thoroughly and efficiently, with very complete support ranging from company formation to payroll, including bank accounts, administrative procedures, cards and the various files tied to our local development.

I work in particular with Lisa, who is extremely reliable, rigorous, punctual and always very quick to reply. For a Canadian company growing its business in France, having someone like her on the ground makes a real difference day to day.

More broadly, the whole KeyPoint International team has always been available, professional and a pleasure to work with. They allowed us to focus on our growth while knowing that the administrative, financial and operational side was in good hands.

I recommend them without hesitation to any foreign company looking to set up or grow in France.

We're working with KeyPoint (VM before) for a long time now to our complete satisfaction. Our regular contact person responds quickly and is well informed about French legislation, which is very convenient for us as a Dutch company. In addition, our French is not enough, so it is especially nice that they are good at English, allowing us to communicate well with them.

I would definitely recommend KeyPoint to other companies in the Netherlands that have French branches.
