Agency - Deepstash

Agency

Agency involves the marketing and sale of an asset you don’t own. Instead of producing value by yourself, you team up with someone else who has value to offer, then work to find a purchaser. In exchange for establishing a new relationship between your source and a buyer, you earn a commission or fee.

In order to provide value via Agency, you must:

  • Find a seller who has a valuable asset.
  • Establish contact and trust with potential buyers of that asset.
  • Negotiate until an agreement is reached on the term
