Registering as an Agent Commercial

I have been helping a local agent immobilier based in the Lot et Garonne with a number of translations and other communications for their English clients and have been doing this unpaid as I am not registered. I would love to become an officially registered agent commercial with a view to getting my carte professional at a later date. I understand that to do so I must be associated with an agent and work on a commission only basis, which would be fine. My questions are: What would be the implications insurance wise etc, for the agent immobilier and how do I go about registering myself as an agent commercial.

I have tried to research this subject, but the guidelines are not clear.

Many thanks.

 

Hi There

It can be a minefield. Maybe your first port of call should be to your local Chamber of Commerce (Chambres de Metiers) to get as much information as you can.

They are usually very helpful.

All the best
