Settle into France
without the admin stress.
Moving to France should be exciting, not exhausting. We handle the utilities, internet, and mobile contracts, so you can focus on enjoying your new life from day one.
You enjoy France.
No obligation · Tailored to your needs
The admin of moving to France can eat your first weeks alive
You've planned the move. You've found the property. But now you're staring at French contracts for electricity, gas, water, internet, and mobile, all in French, all with their own requirements, all needing to happen at once.
This is where most expats lose days, if not weeks. We've built the Expat Care Package specifically to take this off your plate completely.
It's all in French
Every contract, every provider website, every hold music in French. Without fluency, even simple tasks become hour-long ordeals with no guarantee of the right outcome.
Providers are unpredictable
French utility and telecom providers operate at their own pace. Waiting weeks for a connection, missing the right window, or choosing the wrong provider can set you back significantly.
The process isn't intuitive
French admin has its own logic. What seems straightforward isn't. Without knowing the right steps, order, and paperwork, even simple setups can spiral into confusion.
Two packages. Everything handled for you.
Each package is a complete, done-for-you service. We contact providers, navigate the French systems, and confirm when everything is set up. You don't need to lift a finger, or speak a word of French.
Utility Setup
We liaise directly with energy and water providers to set up your electricity, gas, and water accounts. We ensure a smooth handover from previous owners or tenants, no confusion, no missed steps, no language barriers.
Internet & Mobile Setup
Stay connected from day one. We help you compare providers, choose the right plan for your needs, and arrange both your internet and mobile phone contracts, without spending hours on hold or wading through French small print.

"Not only did he expertly handle the transfer of funds for buying our property in France, but he also liaised with our notaire, helped us set up bank accounts, and ensured utilities were transferred seamlessly." — Debbie Y Davidson

I cannot recommend Ibanista and Ben Small highly enough. We purchased a Care Package and used their services to exchange money for a house purchase, and Ben went above and beyond to assist us. Not only did he expertly handle the transfer of funds for buying our property in France, but he also liaised with our notaire, helped us set up bank accounts, and ensured utilities were transferred seamlessly. Ben is an absolute pleasure to work with — patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about how things operate in France. His insider insights were invaluable, and he even guided us to the perfect internet system for our small business. The level of service and personal care provided by Ben has been exceptional, making what could have been a daunting process smooth and stress-free.
Simple, fixed pricing.
No surprises.
Both packages are fixed-price and cover the complete setup from start to finish. Book both and save admin time from day one. We'll create a tailored plan, just schedule a call to get started.
