Urgent Advice - Company Registration !

[Louis.]

I am posting this question on behalf of someone who is in a bit of a muddle...

The question is below.

.............................................................................................
I am British and moved to live in Italy four years ago. I want to start a property finding company but under Italian law to do this you need to take an exam (what estate agents here have). It is basically a type of licence allowing you to deal with property sales. Because of language problems it is unlikely that I would be able to do this. I want to find out if I register my company in the UK, paying for registered company address say in London (for paperwork only) and working though from Italy, if I can get away with and avoid this examination. There seem to be plenty of people doing it here who are registered in the UK who I am almost sure do not have this qualification. I would not be an estate agent but someone searching and then linking up the buyer/seller. Any other tips or contacts would be greatly appreciated - also, anyone wanting to invest in property!!!
