Not all AGENTS are GENERAL AGENTS because they cannot enter into contracts on behalf of the principal unless the principal authorizes them to do so. Examples include building contractors, doctors, stockbrokers, and lawyers
Explanation:
General agents act for many functions on behalf of the principal, and have general authority to carry out all business for the principal, or all business of a particular type. They therefore have implied authority to contract on behalf
of their principal, without needing express instructions.
