Understanding the process
For any relocation of headquarters or opening of additional premises or secondary office, you must first apply to the Business Development Agency for authorisation.
Natural persons of foreign nationality should download and complete the forms for requesting a change of registered office.
Natural persons of Monegasque nationality may make a declaration in place of a request, except in cases of regulated activities, for which a request must still be submitted.
In all cases, the completed information notice relating to the business premises should also be downloaded and duly completed.
To get these forms you can either:
- Download them here:
- Or collect it from the Business Development Agency
- The form for requesting a change of registered office
- The completed information notice
- A copy of the tenancy agreement for the exclusive use of the premises as office space (in cases of relocation) or certification of ownership drawn up by notary at least three months previously as well as certification that the owner has made the premises available, in cases where the applicant is not the owner of the premises
- For relocation: Two original copies of the minutes of the General Assembly of Partners, where the decision to relocate the headquarters was taken
- For the opening of additional premises or a secondary office: 1 original copy of the minutes is sufficient
Please note that if the building in question was built before 1947, the Business Development Agency will request the legal status of the building from the Housing Department.
Any relocation of headquarters must be announced in the Journal de Monaco after it has been approved by the Business Development Agency.
