• An international clientele demands knowledge of the purchase limit for non-residents and of the foreign investment tax.
• The mandate and the commission are governed by transparency rules: a written document is compulsory and the payer must be specified.
• Professional liability requires insurance.
• Anti-money laundering rules apply strongly to the sector.

The steps specific to this activity

1. Check the conditions of access to the profession.
