Answer:

The statement is: True.

Step-by-step explanation:

In making business relationships, an agent acts as a third party that is legally authorized to establish businesses for one of the entities involved. The entity that uses the agent as an intermediary is called the principal. The agent must follow the principal's instructions avoiding to be biased by self-interest.
