Unicity - Make Life Better (MLM)

The Unicity Franchise is revolutionary in the franchise industry. It offers people from all backgrounds an opportunity to take control of their financial futures and run their own franchise working part-time. Unicity International has pioneered the combination of your spirit, individual drive and creativity with the ease, strength and reliability of franchising in order to create a system of wealth and financial independence that anybody can achieve.

As a Unicity Franchise Owner, you’ll…

• Build your future. Instead of feeling under appreciated for the work you do for someone else, you can take pride in what you, yourself, have accomplished.

• Reach financial goals that a traditional job will not allow. Working for someone else simply means that your income is limited to the amount they feel your efforts are worth. Too often, this means that you’ll be underpaid for the amount of work you do.
• Gain experience and valuable knowledge on how business works. You’ll find this experience will earn you a much higher income than you received before.
• Share the power of Unicity’s proven and effective products with others. Most people are willing to pay for an improvement in weight loss, energy and overall health.

Even if you’ve never sold a product before, you can do it—with Unicity. We make it easy for you to sell and succeed, right away. The Unicity Franchise is a proven path to success for hundreds of thousands of Franchisees around the world, from all ages, cultures and walks of life.
Independent Unicity Franchisees worldwide are enjoying these benefits—and so can you:

• Flexible home-based business: Transform your spare room into an office or work from your kitchen table.
• Minimum start-up cost: Unlike most franchises that require large start-up costs, ongoing overhead, and fixed costs, a Bios Life Franchise is affordable to almost anyone who wants to own their own business.
• Make your own hours: Be there when the kids get home from school or launch a fulltime business, it‘s up to you.
• No required inventory: Instead, concentrate on selling and sharing the Unicity Franchise opportunity with others for faster success.
• Incredible earning and career potential: Sell and share the opportunity with those you recruit and mentor for greater financial rewards.
• Excellent opportunities exclusive to Unicity: Enjoy great product discounts, training, rewards, incentives and more.

Successful Bios Life Franchise Owners include people who are interested in earning an extra $500 a month working part-time, business people who are building their franchise full-time, and health care professionals who share our patented Bios Life products with their patients every day.
