Most roofers setting up in Luxembourg arrive with a diploma or experience earned in France, Belgium or Germany. Equivalence recognition is then the real worksite of the file: diplomas to have recognised, employer certificates to gather, sworn translations where needed. Our flat fee runs that sequence in the right order, before filing, not after a refusal.

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.

Roofing and zinc work: one licence or two?

The two trades are often practised together. If the manager's qualification covers both fields, one well-built file avoids a second procedure and its delays. That call is made at scoping, not at filing. Full company formation, licence absorbed in the EUR 2,049 flat fee, and workers' payroll are on the 2026 fee grid.
