OK What Next?

You need to complete our online agency agreement. Please check to see if our Gold Service is more suited to your needs first. Once we receive your completed online agreement we will send you an email with all the contact information you need from us, including who is your account manager. We will email you within 24 hours to arrange a convenient time to telephone you to discuss your companies requirements and explain our services in detail or if you prefer this can be done using Yahoo, MSN Messenger Skype or by email. This initial conversation will take place in English and normally will take about 30 - 60 minutes.

This agreement is non exclusive and does not tie you to us except with the companies we introduce to you.

The agreement is a legal document and so written in legal English by our lawyers. It can be a little confusing for you if you are not a native English speaker. So we have prepared a simple explanation of the contract so you can understand it. Our CEO is from the United Kingdom and even he prefers the simple version.
