Monaco business guides
Guides to forming, taxing and living with a Monegasque company. Every figure carries the article that sets it and the year it took effect, and a second specialist reads each guide before it is published.

Company formation and the register

Premises, substance and AML
Two things the market sells that Monegasque law does not allow, and one listing that changes what a bank asks for.
Monaco and the FATF Grey List
Monaco was placed on the FATF grey list in June 2024. What the listing says, what it does not oblige, and the separate EU list. Julien Rossi
Nominee Directors in Monaco
A nominee director is not a product in Monaco: lending a name to obtain the business authorisation is an offence for both sides. Camille Perrin The service behind this group is domiciliation and the registered office. ---

Tax
What Monaco taxes, at what rate, and where each rate is written down.

Is Monaco a Tax Haven?

VAT in Monaco
Monaco charges VAT at 20%, 10%, 5.5% and 2.10%, each with the article that sets it, and why the rates are French. Julien Rossi The service behind this group is VAT and tax registration. ---

Residence and relocation
The founder's own file, separate from the company's, and what the official statistics actually measure.

Monaco publishes no rent figure and no price index. What IMSEE does measure in 2025: EUR 57,569 a square metre. Élodie Marchal The service behind this group is residence in Monaco. ---
A question these guides do not answer?
A question about your own file is not a question a guide can answer: ask a question and name the activity and the form you have in mind.
Start your Monaco file
Tell us the activity, where it will be carried on and who will run it. One of us reads it and comes back with the questions the authorisation file will ask. Our fees are on request.
A PERMISSION FIRST
The authorisation is personal and non-transferable, and it names the activity and the premises. Nothing on this site is sold ready to trade.
