At the moment, we predominantly sponsor women who live in the UK. As the business starts to grow, we aspire to partner with other international organisations to impact the lives of women in other countries. SMALL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
Direct selling businesses account for the largest part time work and independent business opportunities in the UK. Some of the most successful businesses are AVON
, MARY KAY, HERBALIFE, USBORNE BOOKS AT HOME, KLEENEZE, PARTYLITE and there are many more. Majority of women, especially moms with young families or carers dream of having a business that is flexible with hours that fit around their commitments. The cost of childcare makes it almost impossible for mums with young kids to have a full time job. Some women who do have full time jobs often struggle to make ends meet due to financial commitments and would benefit from the opportunity to have an additional income stream. Direct selling businesses provide an opportunity for women who are passionate about their success to start a small business. There are so many benefits of having a direct selling business :
- You can be your own boss
- You can work hours that suit your commitments and lifestyle.
- It is easy to start up and set up
The company will provide you with all the training and support you need so there is usually no experience required
There are various products to market, so you can choose a business that suits you. You can grow the business to become very successful if you out in the time and effort required. For more details, please visit the Direct Selling Association which is the regulatory body for all direct selling businesses. On their website, you will find a lot of useful information www.dsa.org.uk
