agency start-up checklist

Starting an agency is an exciting and challenging experience. Many founders of start-up agencies have the benefit of years of experience as a booker, a model, an investor or another profession that provides them with deep knowledge of a part of the agency business. The challenge is identifying the elements of starting and operating an agency with which the founder is not as familiar.
