The French "registre du commerce" is akin to the English register of business names, but differs in the respect that whereas in England registration applies only in cases where a person is trading or practising under a name different from his own, or the partnership includes persons other than those mentioned in the firm name, the French registration applies to everyone carrying on business in France, whether an individual trader, a partnership, a company or other body corporate, and whether of French or foreign nationality. 2, record 1, English, - register%20of%20business%20names
