 My parents are moving to the South of France soon but currently with no fixed abode! While they look they'll need to store furniture...I think down here is going to be too expensive...they don't need access so was wondering ... Does anyone know of reasonable priced secure storage for some large items of furniture and a few boxes. Please let me know if you have a secure lock up, barn etc. For about 6months-1 year. Cheers!

hi Jan Thanks for replying back! I have approached an accountant still waiting for them to respond. I hadn't thought of notaire but I have got one so will try him too. I'm looking to produce a 32 page give away magazine that will generit an income eventually for me. Have found out some more info since posting such as I need to register with the Tribunal in the area I print - am currently getting quotes from printers so not sure which one yet!I am hoping they will tell me how I need to format the data so that its photo ready. I haven't got to distribution yet(don't worry I am only in the analysis/research phase!) I know there are 2 bodies that paying publications subscribe to but I won't be charging...so I need to get more info and ideas here. Ideally I'm looking for some websites that i can subscribe to that will help me along my way...so I will check out the site you mentioned .. thanks for that!

I would like to launch a local magazine down here in the South...don't worry no competition to Living France!! I'm guessing that the way it's all set up here there will be a certain amount of hoops to jump through...(!) I can get to the bottom of all the legal company stuff but I'm more interested about legalities around publishing and printing...how can I proceed (positively)and legally thus giving my idea a chance?? Any tips of getting back to work greatly appreciated!

Currently UK based with husband working. Want to buy a gite complex and all move there but how to fund it? Gites would not be sole income long term - wife would run the gite business and hubby would find work out there which obviously may take time! Do we apply for UK mortgage based on husbands salary as though he was going to continue working or do we apply for a business mortgage in UK/France? What have you done? Advice welcome !
