Plan Basics

Overview

Purchasing Products
All Amway Business Owners, Member+s and Members purchase products directly from Amway.

Bonus Payments
The Amway Business Owner’s first earning will be the retail margine from the sales of products to end customers. This is the difference between the price Amway Business Owner pays to Amway and the suggested retail price that the customer pays to Amway Business Owner. Second, you can receive a Performance bonus from Amway d.o.o. based on a monthly accumulation of points. Croatia will have the same Performance Bonus Schedule as Slovenia.

PV/BV Transfers
PV/BV transfers are not available.

Consolidated Line of Sponsorship (CLOS)
From November 3, 2003 twelve Eastern European Amway markets, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey and Ukraine, are combined into a Consolidated Line of Sponsorship (CLOS) Region. This will allow all current and new ABOs, AIEs and Members Plus to personally sponsor within and into each of these countries. Option of international sponsoring between the countries within CLOS Region is discontinued. (All businesses established before August 31, 2003 will continue to count according to international sponsoring rules.) International sponsoring from outside the CLOS Region continues to be available. If an ABO has no business in any of the countries that make up the CLOS Region, he will be allowed to establish one new business in the CLOS Region. An ABO, AIE or Member Plus who already has at least one business in the CLOS region will not be allowed to establish another one.

Establish a Second Business

International Sponsoring
International sponsoring is always an option and an excellent means of expanding your business while avoiding many of the costs and complexities associated with establishing a second business. Please note: For those markets where foreigners are able to establish a second business, they must be the international sponsor of their second business in another country.

Immigration Issues
Amway recommends Amway Business Owners consult the local Croatian embassy in their home country to determine the type of visa or permit required for travel.

Citizens of many Amway affiliate countries may not require short term visas (for stay less than three months). Generally foreign Amway Business Owners in Croatia on a short-term basis will be required to obtain a visa. Those staying longer than the short-term maximum will be required to obtain either a work or a business visa. Amway Business Owners doing business as individuals will need a work visa (permit), a retail or trade service registration, local address and local bank account. However it will be difficult for most foreign Amway Business Owners to qualify for a work visa (permit). A business visa can be obtained by Amway Business Owners doing business as a legal entity and who are listed in the court register. Amway Business Owners should consult legal experts in Croatia to obtain advice on appropriate immigration requirements. Consulting a legal or tax expert is also important if you do not intend to reside in Croatia.

How to register for conducting a business as an ABO in Croatia?

Supported forms for conducting a business as an Amway Business owner are:

Craft (Obrt)
To become a craftsman, the individual must register the craft in the relevant Municipal office. Typically the individual will need to register for retailing outside retail shops (Ostala trgovina na malo izvan prodavaonica, štandova i tržnica) reg. No. 47.99.

Legal entity
Limited liability company (d.o.o.)
Registered at the Commercial Court. A minimum share capital of 20.000HRK is required. To do Amway business such d.o.o. has to be registered for trade services according to general definition of the Trade law.

Amway Business Owners are not Amway employees. By registering as Amway Business Owners they receive the right to sell Amway products in their own name and for their own account to end customers.
