Unlicensed persons can do non-selling chores in a broker's office, such as answering the telephone and keeping the books, but will be flirting with violation of the law if they begin to answer questions or provide other direct client assistance.

They can act as an assistant or secretary to an agent or broker, but not any tasks requiring a license.
