What sets it apart

A route to running a fully independent agency without bonds.

Who it suits

Open to newcomers — the company’s stated position is “yes”.

You join as a member and usually trade in your own name, paying fees rather than giving up a share of commission.

How customers’ money is protected

This matters to you as well as to your clients: it determines who is liable if a supplier or the company itself fails.

Trust account. Customers’ money is held in a trust account, separate from the company’s own funds, and released only as the holiday is delivered.

Its own trust account model, described as giving 100% consumer protection, in place of bonding.
