⚖️ Commercial Agent vs. Commercial Representative
Understanding the difference can prevent serious legal risks.
A commercial representative has broader authority and can bind the business with their actions.
A commercial agent, on the other hand, operates within more limited and defined powers.
Why does it matter?
Because the scope of authority directly affects liability, obligations, and the validity of transactions.
Choosing the right role — and defining it clearly — is essential for protecting your business.
