Young entrepreneurs seeking guidance from their government’s Business Wales website found details on how to make loads of cash in the adult entertainment sector.
Young entrepreneurs seeking guidance from their government’s Business Wales website may have found themselves getting advice they probably weren’t expecting. Among the site’s many career insights were details on how to make loads of cash in the adult entertainment sector.
Not for long, though – following numerous complaints, the information was taken down.
When it existed the page offered downloadable spec sheets detailing the lush earnings and workings of being a lap dancer, running an escort business, and opening an erotic boutique.
For example, those interested in breaking into the companionship business were advised that, “Escort agencies usually have several escorts on their books. Agencies charge escorts an 'introduction fee' of between 25% and 55% of what the client pays to the escort."
They were also reminded that requesting that their employees provide off the menu services is illegal, and that discretion is an essential part of the client relationship.
A Welsh government spokesperson announced that an investigation of the matter has been launched, and also mentioned that the offending fact sheets were supplied by a 3rd party provider.
