Please note that you can find more frequently asked questions when you become a verified model or a client with us.

What is Finda?

Finda is professional booking platform and community for models. We provide an alternative to traditional model agencies by streamlining bookings with an advanced platform structure whilst maintaining professional services and a high standard of talent.

Why do models want to be on Finda?

Finda brings a safe tool to work with clients directly. On our platform, models have equal opportunities to be discovered by clients. They make their own informed decisions on job offers, negotiate their fees and receive payments, keeping track of all past, present and upcoming projects and invoices. They pay only 10% commission instead of the usual 20 - 40%, benefit from absolute financial transparency, and become a part of a community of fellow entrepreneurial models in control of their careers.

Who can be a model at Finda?

Finda is for entrepreneurial models - modelpreneurs. Those models who want to have full control over their careers and are business-savvy and proactive.

Our models must be over 18, have the right to work in the UK, have at least one professional portfolio image which reflects their talent, and present themselves professionally on social media. Our experienced managers verify each and every model before they appear on the Finda talent page.

Why is booking through Finda beneficial?
