A great opportunity
Direct Selling is an ideal way to start a business of your
own and offers many unique opportunities. It's a method of selling goods
directly to the consumer and is the UK's largest provider of part time
earnings. It is usually made face to face - either where a product is
demonstrated in the home or a catalogue is left with the customer.
 The growth of Direct Selling
Over the past decade, a steadily growing proportion of the
UK population have become attracted to the idea of having their own small
business. Not only as an alternative to conventional employment, coping
with early retirement or as a way of supplementing a family income, but
also for the sheer satisfaction of being an entrepreneur and being
rewarded solely on the basis of achievement.
The vast majority of manufacturers or suppliers of consumer
goods and services would, were it possible, prefer to deal directly with
their retail customers. This is precisely what Direct Selling is all about
and why it is a growing sector of the home shopping market, with annual
sales exceeding £2 billion.
These opportunities are designed to appeal to men, women and couples
across every social and racial group. One of the great attractions of a
Direct Selling business is that the commitment is entirely flexible. It
can be just a few hours a week or, for some, a full time occupation. It
is, for example, a perfect opportunity for women to return to work, as it
fits in with their family commitments.

The benefits
Direct selling only requires a very modest initial investment to start
your own business - often less than £100. Considering that the average
start up cost for a small UK business working from home is around £5,000 -
the Direct Selling opportunity offers both the personal satisfaction of
creating your own business and a minimal outlay.
Direct Selling owes its continuing success to the thousands
of people of all ages and in all walks of life who want to be independent
or to have a business of their own - in fact, in 2000, nearly one in five
of all Direct Sellers were 50 or over. The earnings that can be expected
from a Direct Selling business vary greatly - ranging from less than £1000
through to £50,000+ per year, dependent on the time and effort invested.
