The commercial agent can work for one or more companies in commercial agency law (single-company\/multi-company representative). He either only mediates between the company and the customer (brokerage agent) or, as a representative of the company, he concludes contracts with the customers himself (final agent). A special form of commercial agent in commercial agency law is the district representative, to whom the entrepreneur assigns a specific district or customer group, in which commission claims arise even if contracts are concluded without his involvement, cf. \u00a7 87 II HGB<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In commercial agency law, the commercial agent must be distinguished from the commercial broker and the commission agent. In contrast to the commercial agent in commercial agency law, the commercial broker is not permanently entrusted with the brokerage; the commission agent, in contrast to the commercial agent in commercial agency law, acts in his own name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
