Market America calls its business opportunity the “Unfranchise”. Why? Because Market America offers the solid benefits of a franchise like training and systemized methods but doesn’t have the traditional headaches like huge overhead and start-up cost, insurance, employees and many other aspects involved with franchising. Market America is a product brokerage company that prides itself on one-to-one marketing and mass customization. The company headquarters is located Greensboro, North Carolina and was started by James Ridinger formerly a rep for Amway.
The Products
As mentioned before Market America is a product brokerage company which means they don’t actually produce any products but instead survey customers, find out what they want and then find a manufacture to produce the desired product. This allows Market America to carry only products that are selling well for their reps and can drop poorly performing products, keeping the company much less vulnerable to market swings. The manufacturer then researches and produces the product while Market America concentrates on bringing the product to the consumer through its network of independent distributors also known as an “Unfranchise Owners”. There are currently hundreds of products in the “mall without walls” from unique nutrition products, skin care and make-up, weight-loss products, an anti-aging hormonal line and many more. On top of their exclusive product lines they also have thousands of affiliate partners that allow the “Unfranchise Owners” preferred customers to shop and buy online through a web portal. Familiar names like Wal-mart, Target, Best Buy and many more are stores that allow the reps to get paid when their customers shop online.

The Business Structure and Payout
Market America is considered a network marketing company. Each rep or “Unfranchise Owner” retails product to preferred customers and recruits other reps to do the same. The benefit of this is of course leveraged time and financial gain. An Unfranchise Owner begins by purchasing 200BV of product to “qualify” their business center and remains on a 50BV-150BV “transfer buy” per month. BV is a point value assigned to each product that is used to determine when commission checks will be earned.(Average BV is 80% per dollar of the product, so $100 would be 80 BV). After that the rep must recruit two people and place on on the left side and one on the right side. This “activates” the business center and the “Unfranchise Owner” can begin receiving commission checks. As your business organization grows and more reps are selling to preferred customers and recruiting new “Unfranchise Owners”, the amount of BV accumulated on each side results in commissions being paid out.

In Conclusion...
The Market America “Unfranchise” is not a scam. It is a legitimate business opportunity that provides a large selection of market driven products for the rep to choose from for selling. But, like any other business, networking or not, it takes serious commitment, continuous action and learning new things that you may not be familiar with when it comes to starting a new business. It also takes time to build the system and is not a get rich quick scheme, but can provide significant income over a 2-3 year period if you focus on following their systemized business plan. Market America may or may not be right for you from a business stand point but either way I would encourage looking at their quality products they offer at http://www.marketamerica.com/deigenfeld .
