Selling Your Business

Rules around selling your IA position.

Key Principle​

IA positions are generally NOT saleable.

Unlike traditional businesses, your IA position is:

  • Not "owned" like property
  • Subject to company approval
  • Governed by IA Agreement terms
  • Not freely transferable

Why Positions Can't Be Sold​

  • Not property — It's a contractual relationship
  • Company controls — Relationships are with company
  • Downline rights — Others' rights are involved
  • Regulatory — MLM regulations apply
  • Integrity — Prevents manipulation

What You CAN'T Do​

  • Sell your position to another person
  • Auction your downline
  • Transfer for payment without approval
  • Advertise your position for sale

Limited Exceptions​

Very limited circumstances may allow transfer:

  • Death — Estate transfer (with approval)
  • Incapacity — May transfer to family (with approval)
  • Business conversion — Entity change (with approval)

All require company approval.

If You Want to Exit​

Instead of selling:

  • Voluntary cancellation — Close your account
  • Withdraw commissions — Take earned funds first
  • Let license lapse — Stop renewing

See Voluntary Cancellation.

What Happens to Your Downline?​

If you exit:

  • Downline rolls up to your sponsor
  • You lose all relationships
  • Cannot reclaim later
  • This cannot be "sold"

Income Implications​

  • Future commissions — You forfeit
  • Current balance — Withdraw before cancelling
  • "Goodwill" value — Not compensated

Compliance Warning​

Attempting to sell or transfer without approval:

  • Violates IA Agreement
  • May result in termination
  • Forfeits any compensation
  • May affect the "buyer" too
