Good Question friend?
you may sign on behalf of your wife as GPA holder, but you should not be a Managing partner and manage the show room you alone
if it is the family business, you may be a partner and do business.
in my openion you may act as a GPA holder for your wife and conduct business and there is no bar for acting on behalf of your wife with out involving in actual business.

You can do whatever you want but only till some one file a complaint against you before the bar counsel.
