Starting one these days is quite a lot easier than it was years ago. Computers and the internet have vastly shrunk down the time consuming communications part of it all, which makes things a lot easier. But to start a modeling agency, you need more than communication skills.
You need to understand the two major factors of running such a business, which although should obvious, are of paramount importance in this field. You need to run it professionally, and absolutely ethically. Reputations in this field rapidly evolve on a basis of word of mouth. This can either be very good for your business or very bad - you want it to be very good of course, and to have such a reputation work well for you.
The two basic operations used to start a modeling agency (and run one), are finding the talent, and then finding work for these talented people you wish to represent. Finding models is easy enough, as there are a multitude of them who are just dying to be discovered, and even a great many potential models who wish to break into the field, but who don't quite know where to begin. Often we can find these people at auto shows and trade shows, or even walking the streets.
When you start a modeling agency, you'll find that there are many resources for finding work for those whom you represent. Some places include magazine ads, TV commercials, mass transit ads, internet video ads, showroom presentations, clothing store ads, runways, photo shoots, exhibitions, business launches and more.
It used to be that to start a modeling agency would take thousands of dollars in capital, but these days you can start simply for phenomenally much less from a home office. Or, if you'd rather take the larger route, you could take out a small business loan and start out with a rented office space and enjoy the prestige of having an official place on the community map.
