The SNPRM also welcomes companies involved in working with Relocation, even though it is not their main activity. These companies are known as Affiliates.
Affiliates support the Association and make their expertise available to Relocation companies in the execution of their tasks:
• Banks
• Insurance companies
• Regional development agencies
• Language training
• Inter-cultural management
• Removals
• Furniture rental companies
• Hotel residences
• Domestic services
• Recruitment and temporary work agencies
Companies may only apply to join the SNPRM if they have no links to real estate agents. To be eligible for Affiliate status, they must:
• have been in business for over two years,
• make an honourable declaration agreeing to comply with the code of ethics,
• answer the questionnaire which will be examined by
the members of the Committee, attaching:
- a company presentation brochure
- a letter of recommendation from one of their customers
- a letter of recommendation signed by a member of the SNPRM,
on that company's letterhead
- Pay an admission fee
- Undertake to pay the annual subscription.
The affiliated company's contact details (address, phone, fax), together with a website link and/or address, appear in all the listings published by the SNPRM.
Affiliates are invited to speak at and/or participate in SNPRM meetings - in particular, every year at the National Convention and at Members' Day - and to take the training courses accredited by the EARP, the European Academy of Relocation Professionals.
Affiliates systematically receive all information issued by the SNPRM.
Affiliates cannot vote at assemblies.
Affiliates can use the services of the SNPRM delegate for all information concerning Relocation and if necessary transmit their information to the members concerned.
Affiliates can use the SNPRM and EARP logos on all their documentation.
Affiliates can present their company on the SNPRM website.
For all information and details of affiliation rates, or to receive the affiliation questionnaire: send an email to info@snprm.com
As soon as a complete application is received, it is submitted to the Committee for approval and a decision is sent within approximately one month.
