Licensed And Non Licensed Agencies

Jul 21st, 2008 by Alan Yu

Today I was looking at a list of agents here and was surprised at how many agencies there were here in BC.  The thing is too most of these aren’t listed as licensed agencies on the government site yet some of them seem like they have working talent on their roster.

I was always taught that if the agent was not licensed that it should be a sign for you to look elsewhere.  Just the other day too I was talking to a guy that I do some martial arts training with and he mentioned that his girlfriend was a model for a particular agency.  When he mentioned the name of it I didn’t see it anywhere on the licensed list.

I’m personally going to stick with talking to the agencies that are licensed though as to reduce the odds of meeting a lemon.  Of course like a lot of people say too just because it is licensed doesn’t mean it is good.
