A business operating within any of the Scandinavian countries only needs to submit one application for sponsoring activities within the region. However, Amway Business Owners will need to comply with local business and tax requirements as outlined in company literature, which includes a restriction on product retailing within the specific country of business registration. A single bonus payment, representing volume generated in all the Scandinavian countries, will be issued to the Amway Business Owner in the currency and country registered with Amway.

how to start
Start! Kit Purchasing
The Start! Kit contains mandatory litterature and a selection of the most popular products from Amway. Amway Business Owners only have to purchase the Start! Kit, and they will receive this directly from Amway. It is furthermore possible to purchase additional products on the first order. Amway Denmark will not accept an offline Application without the attached Order Form, as this Order Form is the means to send the Start! Kit to the new Amway Business Owner. Therefore, an applicant will need to submit both the Application and the attached Order Form at the same time. Once the applicant has completed the Application, it is sent to the local Amway office along with the order form. Amway will then ship the Start! Kit with additional products ordered directly to the new Amway Business Owner after Amway confirms payment. Payments can only be made either through bank transfer or credit card.
The registration process can be completed by using the Internet site www.amway.dk where the applicant, together with the sponsor, completes the Registration Form. The new Amway Business owner is registered at that moment and he/she can buy products on-line. The Start! Kit will be automatically included in the order. The Registration Form must be printed and signed by the applicant and submitted to Amway Denmark, Carl Gustavs Gade 3-1, 2630 Taastrup DK within the first 30 days after registration.
