LEGACY
In 1959, Amway launched a business model fueled by the
power of relationships. The original product offered in this

leader in the categories of nutrition, beauty and home.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
Amway distributors get the best of both worlds:
• Support from one of the largest and most successful
direct selling companies across the globe
• The freedom and exibility of owning their
own business
Amway empowers distributors to achieve success on their
terms, giving them the opportunity for more income while they
set their own schedules. The AMWAY™business opportunity
rewards distributors for selling nutrition, beauty and home
products, and enrolling and teaching others to do the same.
Anyone can start a business with Amway, but it’s not for
everyone. It takes hard work and dedication to succeed.
SUPPORTING
DISTRIBUTOR
SUCCESS
Amway offers all distributors, regardless of their level or

business tools that help them succeed in the business. Amway
believes in its business opportunity so much that it comes
with a money-back guarantee, ensuring there is no risk in
starting an Amway business.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
The AMWAY™business opportunity is a low-cost, low-risk
path for entrepreneurs to achieve their ideal work/life
balance with rewards and recognition for their efforts.
Anyone can start an AMWAY business, regardless of their
professional background, life experience or education level.
The business requires hard work and dedication, and while
it may not be right for everyone, it has led to success for
many individuals.
Every distributor’s business is their own. All of them service
their existing customers and present to new customers, and
some help others to build their own businesses. Income
varies too, because compensation and bonuses are based
INSIDE THE
DISTRIBUTOR
EXPERIENCE
on product sales. Many distributors work to supplement
wages earned from activities not related to Amway, while
others make it their primary source of income.
EVERYBODY HAS A UNIQUE STORY TO
TELL. MOST AMWAY DISTRIBUTORS
EARN A LITTLE EXTRA INCOME TO HELP
THEIR FAMILIES. MANY USE IT FOR THEIR
CHILDREN’S EDUCATION OR TO FIND OTHER
WAYS TO LEAVE THE NEXT GENERATION
BETTER OFF THAN THEIR OWN.
Number of countries represented on
the Amway Founders Council, a forum for
top global distributor leaders to discuss
the company’s strategic objectives.
The organization’s success depends on
the company and these leaders being
focused on common goals and aligned
around business priorities and values.

BEING A DISTRIBUTOR IS BEING ABLE
TO DESIGN YOUR OWN LIFE.”

Amway uses the best of nature, science and research to
develop and manufacture products to the highest quality
standards. Amway scientists, engineers and technical
professionals around the world respond to market demands,
create new markets and devise products that closely t an
innite variety of customer needs and desires.
For example, Amway R&D has invested signicant resources
in the research, development and application of genomic
technologies (micro-array testing and bioinformatics) in
support of the ARTISTRY™and NUTRILITE™brands. Results
to date have provided information about the impact of
genetics on how skin ages as well as the effect of vitamin
supplementation on cell protection. This emerging area of
science promises to lead to the identication of new targets
for improved product functionality.
The Amway R&D team that focuses on products for the home
category has helped bring safe drinking water to Haiti by
incorporating the power of a water ltration plant into local
homes, clinics and schools. Team members volunteered
to build 300 HydraAid BioSand Water Filter systems, which
have no moving parts, require no electricity and can combat
the leading causes of waterborne death and disease by
reducing parasites, bacteria and viruses.
