I dont think I have enough permissions to initiate the transfer.
The site was made by yellow page but they wont give us full access to the site.
I was hoping to make a new wix site and then initiate a transfer to the new account.
You will just have to make a new Wix account and create a new site. Then when you upgrade, you will have to pay regular Wix prices.
Yell, LegalZoom and other big sponsored partners like that, will remain owners of any site they initiate for you because they get special pricing from Wix.
