Industry Tips
This company sells training, and educational materials on starting a business as an international import export broker. The cost of the training and related materials is $499, and is non-refundable. Buyers must also pay $25 monthly to retain access to the company's website to obtain leads, and are entitled to one year of coaching and assistance. Promotional materials and ads claim that becoming an import export trader is "as easy as having a garage sale.

Our experience with some business opportunities indicate they make claims about the plans’ income potential, the opportunity to work from your home--part time, if you wish--and the ability to realize success with little or no experience are unfounded.

Complaints about these types of plans allege that the promised assistance was not provided, at least to the extent represented, and that the product or service quality or marketability was misrepresented.
