Hello all

I'm seriously thinking about starting an Escort Agency, but I want to do it properly....any advice welcome. I'll start with a few Qs to start you off 

1. What's a fair percentage of a girl's earnings to charge ?
2. What is the best way to ensure the girls' safety?
3. How can I verify the clients' Id before a visit??

Plenty more where they came from. I'm genuine, so please don't give me a load of abuse - I'm at least trying to do this properly and safely.

Thanks, Andy

Because everyone and their dog thinks that they could do it and it's easy money.

I used to get at least a couple of calls every week about this. Virtually all of them would say 'I want to start a high class escort agency and...'

Fair play at least he IS asking.

Might be good to get some answers anyway to advise us newbies what we should be expecting to pay an agency in different areas, etc.

People seem to think around 30%. There is a thread about this on the Punternet messaeg board:

thought agencies would be considered as "controlling the prostitution" hence agencies = pimping

am I wrong here?  this sort of legal maze really baffles me

Yep, even if some of them pretend otherwise. When they were passing the law in 2003, the notes to MPs on what it all meant gave as examples of 'control' exactly what agencies do.

In practice, agencies are clearly not a priority for police. They don't generate the complaints, for one thing. HM Customs & Revenue are far more interested.

Ah that makes an awful lot of sense thank you very much XW5.  one agency (I briefly knew of) was based in Thailand where his usual domicile was based and visits here in UK seasonally.
