When it comes to the ins and outs of how a doula agency works, many myths exist.

The truth is, there are many perks to working with a doula agency. For many, the team approach creates a desirable environment where birth workers can find support. Others love being able to focus on the client-facing work and leave the client acquisition process to someone else. Not good at marketing? The agency does that for you. Worried about collecting and tracking client payments? The agency has that covered. Credit card fees, the agency takes care of those too.

One of the biggest myths we see surrounding working with an agency is that the agency takes a cut of the doula's fee.

The fact is, the agency contracts with the client at a set fee. Then the agency contracts with the independent contractor at a set fee to provide the service. The agency does not take a cut or a percentage of the independent contractor's fee. The independent contractor agrees to the fee they will be paid. After the related business expenses are accounted for, agency owners are paid less than the independent contractors for providing the service.

Join us as we discuss this and other common doula agency myths!
