Welcome!
This is the Options Independent Business Operator (IBO) support center. Here you should find most of what you need to know to go into business for yourself as an Options IBO.
So, let's get started ...
Step One: Business Start-up
Registration
First, make sure you have registered with our development partner, Face to Face International, to be an Options IBO. Click here to register. You should also find out if you need a special local governmental permit and/or tax identification number to operate your own business in your community. Your local bank or micro-lender (see Finance) should be able to provide you with this information.
Finance The Options Product Starter Kit costs US $108. If you have this "start-up capital" great, but if you do not, Options for Life will match a loan (for US $ 54) that you get from a local micro-lending institution.
When you register, don't forget to tell us what (if any) lending institution(s) you will approach for funding. BEFORE you actually apply for a loan, we will provide them with information about the Options IBO program and answer any business-related questions they may have.
Supplies
If you have a Visa, Master Card or American Express credit card you may click here to order and pay for your Options Products Starter Kit.
If you do not have a credit card, you may ask your bank or micro-lender to wire transfer the money to the following bank account:
Account name: Face to Face International Account number: 00466599 Bank ABA number: 021000089 Bank: Citibank, N.A., 111 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005
Be sure to include your name in the wire transfer instructions so that we know where the money came from.
The US tax identification number for Face to Face International is 13-409-8605, should you need it.
Location
You will need at least 10 square meters (107 square feet) of sheltered, dry and secured space to blend, bottle and store your first shipment of Options Products. Since Options products are non-toxic and non-flammable, it is safe to bottle them in your home. However, KEEP ALL OPTIONS CHEMICALS, PRODUCTS AND BOTTLING MATERIALS AWAY FROM SMALL CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES.
Or, you may choose to share with, barter with or rent space from a friend or local business that has extra space. Be careful not to financially over extend yourself in the beginning by committing to and paying too much rent.
