Entrustment is a civil legal relationship in which the principal and the trustee agree that the trustee will handle the affairs entrusted by the principal.

Agency is the act of an agent implementing civil law in the name of the principal within the scope of agency authority.

The difference between the two is that:

1. Agents include entrusted agents, statutory agents and designated agents. Entrustment contract is a contractual relationship agreed by both parties on the basis of mutual trust, which has nothing to do with legal agent and appointed agent.

2. Agency only applies to the relationship between itself and the third party in the agency relationship, that is, the agency belongs to the external relationship, otherwise it is not an agency; The entrustment contract only applies to the internal relationship between entrustment and entrustment.

3, the establishment of the agency relationship, the power of attorney granted by the agent to the agent is a unilateral legal act, and the entrustment belongs to the legal relationship between the two parties, that is, the principal must first make a promise. If the principal does not make a promise, the principal cannot entrust him to handle the entrusted affairs, and his entrustment contract cannot be established.
