The things I'd suggest looking at are: as you said - longevity of the company - you don't want a company shutting it's doors with your customer's money and nothing to show diverse line of products - if it's too much of a specialty, your're limiting yourself...and your business priorities of the company - do they give back to the community and/or family oriented? a big one - HIDDEN COSTS! Some boast high commisions...only to charge silly fees. i.e. show processing, credit card fees, etc. Be sure to find out about those! There are some solid businesses that have been around a while and can still be considered ground floor opporunities...depending on how saturated the market is (or isn't). The company I sell for has been in business for 34 years now, and many people still haven't heard of them...making it wonderful for me! So, if you know anyone looking at getting into something like this (or if you really do get tempted yourself) feel free to check out or refer anyone to the company I sell for...they really are like a family, have awesome products to organize and decorate with (just like all the hottest shows on television...organizing and decorating...it's the thing to do!) & they have been around for 34 years! You can find out about them or browse my catalog at www.MyHomeMakersIdea.com/JP4841 But no matter what companies you consider, choose one whose products YOU truly enjoy...and give it a try. Even if you only do it for no real reason...you'll be amazed how much fun and how profitable it really can be! I have my business for six years and still love it...which of course, is the most imoportant thing to me.
