In May 2023, it was reported that INFINITE established its own agency, Infinite Company (인피니트 컴퍼니), with Kim Sung Kyu as the company representative. The agency handles all promotional activities for the group while each member remains in their own agency for individual activities. A few days later, Woollim Entertainment CEO Lee Jung Yeop transferred the trademark rights for the name INFINITE over to the group so they could continue their activities without changing their group name.
