Setting up a personal services or concierge business in Andorra
- Updated on
- La rédaction
The short answer
For personal services and concierge work, the regime is: a licence or authorisation specific to the activity. The decisive points are: qualifications and insurance, the legal form (sole trader or SL) and the steps specific to the activity. A company set up by a non-resident first goes through foreign investment authorisation.
