Hi Liza,

 

If giving the other person admin permissions isn't enough, you need to contact support and request for the ownership of the agency to be transferred. The team will provide more information about the process.

i am also wanted to transfer ownership to someone else, how i can do that, and
I have a client who wishes to hire me directly on my separate talent profile, even though we already have an active contract on my agency profile. I am unsure of how to proceed in this situation and would appreciate your guidance.

Hi,

 

i do have the same issue here. According to your TOS related to account information, i do realize that it seems my account is violating your TOS.

 

However, since i already created an agency account, i want to transfer my agency ownership to members of the team and delete this account after.

 

Can you guys help me out, thanks 🙂
