      Der er dermed forskel på graden af handlinger, en mellemmand kan foretage. Det skyldes, at mellemmænd ikke kun står for aftaleindgåelse, men også for bredere kendskabsskabende foranstaltninger og markedsføringstiltag.
      Thus, there is a difference in the degree of the actions a middleman may perform. This is because middlemen are not only responsible for the closing of deals, but also for wider understanding-establishing provisions and marketing initiatives.

      Behovet for en mellemmand i transportafviklingen opstod principielt fra to sider, idet ikke blot transportkunden (købmanden) havde behov for at engagere en mellemmand til at varetage sine interesser, men også transportøren kunne se sin fordel i at overlade nogle af de ved transporten forbundne funktioner til en mellemmand.
      The need for a middleman in the execution of traffic arose, in principle, from two sides, as not only did the customer of transport (the merchant) need to engage a middleman to see to [the merchant's] interests, but the transporter, too, saw an advantage in giving over to a middleman some of the functions associated with transportation.
