Real estate civil society (SCI)

The SCI is a legal form of civil society . This is a civil society whose corporate purpose , that is to say all the activities carried out by the establishment, consists of the management of real estate assets, generally of small scope. Thus, an SCI can neither buy nor sell real estate in order to profit from it .

One of the advantages of a real estate company is that its partners can be made up of third parties , another company, or even a person who is still a minor. Thus, creating an SCI is particularly suitable for managing family real estate assets , in particular for family SCIs .

The specificities of an SCI

The registration of the SCI must be made in the Trade and Companies Register (RCS), therefore it constitutes a legal person ;

It must have at least 2 partners who can be legal or natural persons;

It must have one or more managers who can also be managing partners (who have both the statutes of partners and managers of the company);

The assets of an SCI mainly consist of one or more real estate ;

The share capital of an SCI can be fixed or variable;

An SCI being a "transparent" company , the partners are responsible for the debts of the establishment indefinitely, and must commit their own assets in the event of difficulties; unlike commercial companies, the liability of each partner exceeds the proportion of his participation in the share capital;

The taxation of an SCI is generally the income tax (IR), each partner being taxed on the basis of his income plus the profits made by the company; however, partners can opt for corporation tax (IS). We also speak of transparent ICS ;
