Arbonne International Opportunity Assessment

Thanks for checking out my Arbonne business opportunity review. Full disclosure, I am not an Arbonne distributor or representative, and that I have not yet tried any of the products. I do have friends who are involved with the opportunity though, and thus have sat through a presentation of the business opportunity. I can tell you with full confidence that Arbonne is not a scam, but rather is a 30+ year old international business based in Irvine, California with an highly favorable reputation. Arbonne has over 300 products in a variety of product lines, such as anti-aging, baby care, teen, cosmetics, skin care, nutritional supplements, weight loss, aromatheraphy, etc.

Arbonne International was started in Switzerland in 1975 and relocated to the U.S. in 1980. Its flagship Natural Swiss Pure Skin Care line was developed in Switzerland by Petter Morck and a group of bio-chemists. These products are based on natural botantical principles, use no animal products or by-products, undergo no animal testing, and are hypo-allergenic and environmentally safe. As I previously stated there are over 300 products. They are all reputed to be very high quality, but I'm hard pressed to know what makes them different from their competitors. Their products are often seen as comparable to MaryKay and Avon. The skin care products do seem to garner the most praise, especially the Pure Swiss Skin Care line, but their customers and reps appear to be pleased with all fo the products. These products are available the world over and remain quite popular.

Arbonne's holding company did file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2010, but the thousands of Arbonne distributors were not affected in any way. That is, they are not affected other than the fact that they might have to overcome the stigma associated with the bankruptcy. Still it should be business as usual for the distributors as the company reorganizes its debts. From what I understand, this holding company had this debt before they acquired Arbonne.

Arbonne now has new ownership and they managed to rid themselves of 80% of the debt associated with them during the restructuring. Because the Chapter 11 filing was successful, there is no lingering news out there about the bankruptcy, so most people will never hear about it. It's kind weird to assert after that kind of news that this appears to be a solid business opportunity, but it is. The distributors' network was never affected by the filing, and Arbonne actually emerged from the bankruptcy stronger than ever.

As for the business opportunity, to become a consultant only costs $29 for the basic starter-kit. You can purchase a super-starter kit for $65 also, if you choose. Arbonne has a very lucrative uni-level compensation plan. There are 5 distinct business builder levels: Consultant with an average monthly income of $74.09 per month, District Manager averaging $236 per month, Area Manager averaging $1,173 per month, Regional Vice President averaging $4,778, and a National Vice President averaging $22,550 per month. I found the compensation plan to be kind of complicated for a potential newbie to try to explain, but the company does pay its distributors handsomely. Arbonne pays up to 53.8% in commissions on every retail product sold. Still the potential to make huge money here is beyond dispute. But then this is a MLM company, so any earnings will largely depend on the skill, determination, and leadership ability of each consultant. Like most MLM companies, Arbonne distributors largely continue to market their businesses offline, instead of leveraging the power of the internet. Since Arbonne is already an international concern, distributors should learn how to leverage the power of the internet if they want to build a truly international business.
