Colleagues, let's try to look at this issue from a slightly different angle.
What is (or who is) individual entrepreneurship (IP) - one of the organizational and legal forms of a business entity: Business entities in OKOPF include any legal entities, as well as organizations operating without a legal entity, and individual entrepreneurs.
Please tell me whether it can be an Agency LLC, ZAO, NP, etc. As far as I know - maybe. Then the next question: Where is the written ban for individual entrepreneurs to be called the Agency?
Let's see what the Agency is in smart books (dictionaries).
AGENCY

The organization or individual that provides such agency services. 3. Securities issued in the United States by organizations other than the Treasury Department, such as the National Mortgage Association. 4. One of the banks, acting as the organizer of a consortium of banks for lending to the corporation.

So it turns out that there is no reason for the ban to be called the Agency, yes, in the press that uses the IP there is mandatory information that must be indicated: "IP Pupkin Pupok Pupovich INN and OGRNIP New Vasyuki." All this calmly fits into a line in a circle, and the name is written in the center of the press. For example, my partner IP: Agency "PR & Protection". It works for 2 years and no one has ever run and stumped claims.
By the way, no one mentioned that IP can work without printing.
