Save on set-up costs

Our real estate cost-comparison tool
In 2020, we commissioned an EY study comparing land and building costs in the biggest cities in Hauts-de-France versus costs for our leading European competitors—other French regions, the UK, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Poland and more. To use our tool:
- Choose the type of building you need—offices, warehouse, industrial space.
- Choose the cities you want to compare.
- View your results!
Labor cost-comparison tool
Payroll is a major cost center for businesses—which is why wage level indicators are so critical when you’re choosing a location.
An independent EY study compares European wage levels for qualified operators, order pickers, R&D engineers, sales directors and more—benchmarks for costing your own operations.


Financial support programs
Financial support is always an issue when you set up a business in a new region.
Eligibility for funding and government support is never guaranteed: it’s determined on a case-by-case basis and depends on the nature of each project and the affected region.
We can provide information on programs that may be available to you.
