Is running an escort agency as a business legal or illegal?

The image of an escort agency is the problem. The definition would help, hiring a person to escort you to events or to places. The problem is that the ecsort servicies is frequently a front for prostitution selling sex and sex acts for money. That is the illegal part discreet or not. Good Luck

Before you engage in a business dubbed "escort agency" you should probably have a local business attorney experienced with these types of business vet your business model and provide you a primer on what some of the "best practices" are with regard to running one in your state. I hope this helps. Disclaimer: This answer is for informational purposes only and does not constitute general or specific legal advice, nor create an attorney client relationship.
