Red flags checklist
How to check any business opportunity, including us
Last updated · FloorIt
Before you pay for any business opportunity, check five things: who is behind it, how they make money, what it costs over time, how refunds and leaving work, and whether they promise income. Use this checklist on every program you look at, including FloorIt.
1. Find the real company
- Get the legal name. Not just the brand. Ask whose name you'll be paying
- Look it up. Search the state business registry. Check that it exists and is in good standing
- Check how old it is. A new company isn't bad, but you should know
- Search for trouble. Search the company and owner names with the words complaint and lawsuit
2. Follow the money
- What do you pay up front?
- What do you pay every month, or every job, after that?
- Do they earn when you earn, or only when you sign?
- Is there a minimum you must buy or spend each month?
Add the ongoing costs up over five years, not one month. Small monthly numbers grow.
3. Watch for income promises
A seller who promises you a set income, or shows other buyers' profits without proof, is waving a red flag. Ask where every number came from, and ask for it in writing.
4. Know the way out
- Is there a refund policy? What does it take to qualify, and what isn't refunded?
- Can you leave? What does leaving cost?
- What do you keep if you leave: the name, the website, the customer list?
- Is every promise from the sales call written down somewhere you can read before you pay?
5. Notice the pressure
- A countdown timer, or a price that only lasts until tonight
- No time to read what you're signing before you pay
- Answers that change, or that nobody will put in writing
