Understanding the process

For any relocation of business 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.
