Comments:
To whom it may concern: In reference to “Business Opportunity Rule, R511993”. As a home based small business owner I would like to voice my objections to some of the proposals in the FTC's “Business Opportunity Rule, R511993”. The elimination of the $500 minimum business threshold forces the majority of direct selling companies to comply with other provisions of the proposed rule that are more appropriate for businesses requiring a greater investment than a direct selling sales kit. For exanple, the 7 day waiting period to sign a contract would cause unnecessary delays and cast our home based direct sales business in a negative light. Plus giving the names, addresses of our 10 nearest geographical sales persons, would be a great invasion of privacy, since these are friends and neighgors of ours and they trust us to maintain their privacy. Please don't make it any harder than it already is for us small home based business owners to get a piece of the american dream and own our own business. Sincerely yours Carol Hart-Alexander Xango Distributor
