The Entrepreneur’s Guide

Opening a bank account in Luxembourg has become a genuine challenge. Strict procedures, repeated requests, misunderstandings… Even solid and legitimate projects often face unexpected hurdles simply because they do not fully understand what banks expect.

At CMLaw, we support entrepreneurs, SMEs and investors confronted with these issues every day. We understand both the realities businesses face and the stringent obligations imposed on banks and their compliance officers. This dual perspective is what led us to create The Entrepreneur’s Guide 2025.
