Power of attorney
Hello all,
Hope you can help me, I am translating a power of attorney, on the general information where it states the place and date of birth, etc, of the grantor, it also specifies he is a "representante común mercantil, socio o accionista de personas morales", it keeps on stating his address and the info of his ID so that is the only context I have.
Wondering if it is as simple as "commercial common representative" but it doesn't sound right to me
Many thanks for your help!

Commercial legal representative
It would help to know the country of origin of the power of attorney, as it is very likely the meaning of the original will vary depending on the country of origin.
The proposed translation is accurate if the power of attorney was issued in Spain, where a "representante mercantil" is a person with a power of attorney limited to commercial legal matters. The word "común" can be disregarded for translation, as its meaning under Spanish law would not impact the translation.

Note from asker:
| The country of origin is Mexico and it is translated into UK English. Many thanks! |

general mercantile agent
representante común de los obligacionistas > Mex. trustee of the bond issue, West.
General versus specific for a one-off deal or dealing.
I agree with Maria E.G. that we need to know the hallowed country of origin.
My first mercantile thought - from the UK Sales of Goods Acts of yesteryear - was a 'factor' - nowt to do with factoring of invoices or accounts receivable, but I can''t work that title unambiguously into the translation cf. 'general factor' as a person or statistic.

Example sentence:
General Mercantile Agents, i.e. an agent who has full authority to perform all functions relating to the business on behalf of his principal.
In the United Kingdom, most factors fall within the definition of a mercantile agent under the Factors Act 1889 and therefore have the powers of such.
