Do agencies all require upfront payment?
Hi all, new to all this my DD is 10 we are based in Edinburgh, Scotland and looking for an agency. Do all agencies require upfront payments for “admin” etc. Just looking around and so many have it in small print. If it’s the done thing that’s fine just want to make sure I’m not being conned! Thanks

No they don't.
We have been with three different reputable agencies, none of which have charged any up front fees.
The only fee we pay is for spotlight, and headshots, which we can get from our own choice of photographer.
I think some people have posted before about some agencies with admin fees which they feel are legit - I'm sure they will pop up and advise, but you are right to be cautious!
