Looking into this company but they seem to nickle and dime the business owner. Royalty fees, 3000 a year minimum supply purchase. training at your cost once or twice a year. Seems like nothing left over for you when its all said and done. Anyone who was part or has knowledge of this company please give me details. Thanks
