TL;DR
Yes. Swiss nationals enjoy freedom of movement, like EU and EEA citizens: they can set up and run a company in France without a residence permit, whether they live in Switzerland or in France. The steps and fees are the same as for a French citizen: €223.56 incl. VAT in legal fees for a SASU in mainland France. Service-public
What to plan for from Switzerland
- A registered office address in France (an approved domiciliation provider if needed).
- A euro bank account in the company's name, with a bank that accepts non-residents.
- If you work in both Switzerland and France, the applicable social security system is determined by the same rules as in the EU; have it checked before paying yourself. europa.eu
