A legitimate home based business is what we all looking for, something that we can be proud of and gain wealth and recognition for. The problem today is there is so many sheep in wolfs clothing it has made people very sceptical about what to invest their time and money into and rightly so. In this article I would like to look at the things to look for in a legitimate home based business and what should make alarm bells ring.Which route you take to become a legitimate home based business owner will depend on the investment capital you have, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the more you have to spend the more successful you will be or the less susceptible you will be to being taken for a ride. Internet scammers have become very good at charging just the right price to make you believe you are getting value for money.What you need to remember is that the people that are supplying you with a business in a box are doing it for one reason and one reason only; to make money. What you have to look for is a business model that is going to make you money in the process, of mutual benefit. An example of this type of legitimate home based business is multi level marketing, not to be confused with pyramid selling.Multi level marketing is fast becoming the business model of choice for major companies across the globe, suppressing its bad reputation from the early nineties. It was confused with pyramid selling in which only the person at the top really made any money and it was just a dream that was sold to people down the pyramid. Today Multi level marketing is used for the distribution of quality products through sales reps that earn commissions and also have the opportunity to recruit more distributers, thus earning commissions from their sales as well.One should be aware that not all multi level marketing opportunities can be legitimate home based businesses, although not breaking the law beware of companies that require you to buy large amounts of stock up front, this should start the alarm bells ringing. If the product was in demand enough and sold at a reasonable rate the company would be happy to supply straight to your customers. Look for high levels of training within the company; this displays an interest in their distributers and their need for you to succeed.
