Membership Criteria

The PFI Network in the main operates a very popular "sole agency network" policy for all its model members.

In addition all PFI Members can belong to their sister networks (eg. A PFI agent can apply to join GSFN or Five Star), or any other outside independent network.

Successful applicants to PFI will be granted sole agency of their home territory (if applicable) and may book and pay for any adjoining territory (if that territory is available.)

However if the agent does not comply to the network rules and regulations, or if they do not attend the AGM on an expected regular basis, or they do not reciprocate business with their partners then they can lose their sole agency and a second duel agent can be introduced into their country.


To view the Groups current available areas please see refer to the vacant countries tool bar link.

We are also pleased to accept all enquiries to place on our reserve bank of agents in case of future vacancies..

Annual fees are available. For more information please contact us.
