    Default When is independent not independent ?

    I would like to pose a question, is there a fine line between independent and agency ?
    Now before I get attacked, let me elaborate.

    My understanding of an Independent escort is one that works solely for themselves.

    Likewise my understanding of an Agency Escort is one that works under an umbrella of what is commonly know as a "pimp". A boss so to speak who takes a share of fees charged.

    This is the black and white scenario, but is there a grey area ?

    Is there an in-between ?
    I know of Independent escorts who use each others Apartments or apartments in common.
    So as a collective are they in a sense an agency of sorts ?

    Likewise I'm sure there are groups of escorts who have come to Ireland as a group and share Apts, phones ect. Without any third party intervention.
    So if a group of escorts work together are they an agency ?

    Now I'm not trying to accuse anyone of anything, I'm just questioning myself really, these are just some thoughts that have been on my mind of late. I'm just looking for a bit of clarity I suppose.

    Excellent question Dave, I would assume that the criteria was that no third party was involved, so if a group of girls got together to share various appts etc, they would still be working independantly

    Simple I guess - as long as the escort doesnt have a boss means she is independent.

    An Independent escort does not pay a percentage of her income to anyone apart from paying the standard running costs of the business. Agency escorts are 'managed' and have to hand over a percentage of each appointment booked through the agency.

    I suppose it is possible to be an Independent and work 'part-time' for an agency to boost income, and I have heard of situations like that in the UK.

    None of them keep 100% of their revenue. They have a lot of expenses. Including ads on this site.

    “All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.

    But the point is an important one. It's not really about how much money the lady gets. Both independents and agency escorts pay, in different ways. In either case, a lot of your money is going to other people. The difference is control.

    Jeepers Dave! What have you been smoking?

    You certainly don't sound like you're trying to accuse anyone. Instead you sound like a lawyer trying to legislate the escorting industry!

    And like anything to do with the law it, just gives me a headache!

    Please summarise your findings when complete. I couldn't possibly keep track of all the various permutations involved!
