I have been a companion for a while now, worked on 3 continents 5 countries and about 20 cities.
I really love my job; I have had some amazing experiences and met some great people .Problem is I have also had some not so great experiences, what makes this worse is that all of those experiences were only from the management of agencies I worked with. I have seen a lot of girls get treated very unfairly by agencies; they look at you like a product rather than a person.
Since I have a lot of experience being a working girl I use to advise other girls when they had questions or concerns, give them business advice and I felt I made a difference in many girls? lives. For me it was great, I felt it was sort of my calling but I did not realize other girls thought so too. Many of the girls I worked with suggested I open my own agency and for a while now that though has been lingering in my mind.
Unfortunately since I was not resident of the countries I visited I was not able to look into open something there. I am Canadian born and raised but I have never worked in the city I reside in (Vancouver) this is becuase I choose to travel and work to keep my job as private as I can. So not working here before leaves me with little idea of how things are run.
I want to open something that would be fair, I want to be that agency that I as a working girl would have loved to work with.
Something that would let girls work when they wanted, choose their own rates and provided services on their own terms. Somewhere they would feel safe coming to work and feel empowered by their job.
I guess what I am trying ask is advice from a legal perspective on what to do and not do and how to go about things the right way and also comments from girls; if you could work for you perfect agency what would make you happy?
I guess my legal questions would be:
I understand you need a social escort licence to run an agency and that?s just for out calls I would presume.
Do all escort agencies have these licences? What happens if you don?t get one?
Is it better for the girls to be protected by getting a licence or would it work against them by having that on their record?
What about in call? Will anyone bother you if a few girls are working out of one residence?
I would never want to put anyone at risk but I as a working girl found it was always safer to work in a place you found familiar rather than some else?s environment where there could be surprises.
My non legal questions for other working girls would be:
When you work for an agency, what did you like and not like about the experience?
What do you feel they could have done to make your work environment better?
If you could make your own choices in an agency what rules would you want to be able to make?
What is a fair pay split for you?
I have already read over several posts on this board and was happy to find that there are so many knowledgeable people contributing to these forms so any advice or feedback would be very much appreciated.
Also if any of these questions don?t seem inappropriate to post here I apologize, I don?t want to offend anyone I just wanted some advice and on parts of the business I am unfamiliar with and feedback from fellow industry workers.
Thank you:D
