I had to speak to my lawyer on a different matter 2 weeks ago and he ‘strongly recommended’ that I would stop taking percentage /COMMISSIONS and move my business to a marketing /advertising platform. So from one lawyers point of view he didnt see the commission vs flat rate as being the same .
Thats true, most legalites would inform you to go with flat rate vs profit sharing, but that doesnt change the fact of whos calling the shots. They will do as they please when they please.
