Can an investment consulting company sign an intermediary contract?

Legal analysis: Investment consulting companies can sign intermediary contracts, which are contracts in which intermediaries provide intermediary services to customers. Brokers report opportunities for concluding contracts to customers or provide media services for concluding contracts. Whether the client concludes a contract with a third party has nothing to do with the broker, and the broker is not a party to the contract between the client and the third party.

Legal basis: Article 502 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), a contract established according to law shall come into effect upon its establishment, unless otherwise stipulated by law or agreed by the parties.

In accordance with the provisions of laws and administrative regulations, if the contract should go through the approval procedures, such provisions shall prevail. If the failure to go through the formalities such as approval affects the effectiveness of the contract, it will not affect the performance of the obligation clauses such as approval and the effectiveness of relevant clauses in the contract. If the party that should go through the formalities for approval fails to perform its obligations, the other party may require it to bear the responsibility for violating its obligations.

The modification, assignment and dissolution of a contract shall be subject to the provisions of laws and administrative regulations, and the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall apply and shall be subject to approval.
