Companies

Business advisory in French Guiana: strategy, finance, structuring

Economic and financial expertise, structuring of your projects and overseas investment tax regimes, from a firm that runs companies in French Guiana itself.

What we do

The decisions that commit your company.

Projections and business plans

Forecast accounts, funding plans, bank and Bpifrance applications, stress tests: written assumptions, sourced figures.

Company formation and structuring

Choice of legal form, capital structure, holding companies, shareholder and group agreements, with lawyers and notaries for the acts reserved to them.

Overseas investment tax regimes

Productive investment tax credit, free-zone allowances, approvals: eligibility checked against the law at the date of your file.

Public tenders

Monitoring, analysis of tender documents, bids, technical proposals, cost-based pricing.

Payroll costs and hiring

Full cost of a hire, applicable collective agreement, overseas exemptions, team organisation.

Economic and market studies

Feasibility and market studies, location choices, profitability of a project or a takeover.

Your accountant remains your accountant. CIA is not a firm of chartered accountants. We work with yours: they keep and present your accounts, we build the projections, funding plans and applications that rely on them. Acts reserved to lawyers, notaries and chartered accountants are handled by registered professionals whom we coordinate. And we never assist a bidder in a tender run by an authority we advise.

The group

We know the costs because we pay them.

CIA heads a group operating in French Guiana: private security and remote monitoring, waste collection and logistics, vocational training, energy, agri-processing. The real lead time of an administration, the full cost of a hire, the weight of octroi de mer: we live with them every month, and our advice reflects it.

Our method

Four steps, one point of contact.

  1. 01

    Listen

    A thirty-minute call to qualify the project and tell you whether it stands up. If it does not, you know that day.

  2. 02

    Assess

    A written note, costed and sourced. Every rule cited is checked at the date of the report, with its reference.

  3. 03

    Build

    The complete file: documents, budgets, procedure, timetable, contacts. Papers ready to sign.

  4. 04

    Support

    Follow-through to completion: delivery, compliance, collection of funding, regulatory watch.

Thirty minutes is enough to know whether your project stands up.

The first call is confidential, free of charge and without commitment, by video or in Cayenne.
