What new agents underestimate is not the licence, it is the AML/CFT obligations that apply from the first mandate: client identification, vigilance on the origin of funds, document retention. An agent inspected without written procedures is personally exposed. Our firm, itself a supervised professional, installs that documentary base together with the business opening.

How does the filing proceed?

We prepare the file, submit it on MyGuichet to the Directorate-General for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and follow it through to the decision. You sign, we do the rest; the flat fee is confirmed in writing before any hour is billed.

Commissions collected for own account, third-party funds strictly separated, VAT on commissions: agency accounting has its rules. SARL-S at the single EUR 2,049 flat fee, bookkeeping from EUR 250 excl. VAT per month, returns included: the 2026 fee grid publishes it all, and our registered office and offices offer completes the set-up.
