No no no. You take the cut not him. He set the deal with the client, you set the deal with him. He gets the money and gives you what you agreed to work for. The agency money is not a markup on your rate, your money is a slice of their income. Get that straight and you will save a lot of soul searching.
Meanwhile, 13% is entirely reasonableBlog? What blog...?Comment
