Boutique Modelling & Talent Agency — Duo Management

Overview

Hilal Acar and the team at ROIC Business Group present the opportunity to acquire Duo Management, a boutique modelling and talent agency based in Melbourne. Established over three years ago, the agency has built a strong reputation working with leading Australian and international brands, growing from 16 initial models to 31 talented professionals.

The Business

Operating with a boutique approach that prioritises quality over volume, the business focuses on placing actively working talent rather than maintaining a high-volume roster. Revenue is generated through booking fees for campaigns, photo shoots and creative projects, with approximately 95% derived from brand partnerships. A key strength is the agency's direct-to-client acquisition model — the majority of enquiries are generated organically through its own website, reducing reliance on third-party platforms. The business is highly streamlined and can be operated remotely, offering flexibility and low overheads while maintaining service quality.

The Opportunity

Growth is available by scaling the talent roster in line with increasing booking demand, expanding into representing additional creatives such as influencers and stylists, pursuing interstate and international market expansion, and further leveraging digital marketing to increase inbound enquiries. Ideal for creative professionals, talent managers or entrepreneurs seeking a flexible, location-independent business with an established client base.
