In order to run a business, whether a retail store, a grocery store, a boutique, a café, a restaurant or a services company, each business has to follow a certain number of general rules on commercial practices.
How do I display the prices? What are the legal opening hours for my type of establishment? What are the rules concerning commercial practices (advertising, sales, distance selling, door-to-door selling, sales to consumers, etc.) and competition?
A business characterised by good business management and practices may claim one of the available quality labels in Luxembourg.
Each business who so wishes can also try to develop their activities by submitting a tender within the framework of public procurement contracts.
