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.

Foreign Amway Business Owners who plan to have an active Amway business in Scandinavia must comply with the laws of doing business in the region. Foreigners may establish an Amway business in Denmark either as an individual or by forming a legal entity, such as a corporation or partnership.

Available forms of doing business
– Sole proprietorship
– Partnership
– Branch
– Private or Public Limited Company

Business registration, local address and local bank account are necessary. However, additional business and tax registration requirements vary depending on which method of operating your business you choose and which country you choose to operate in.

Please consult your legal and tax advisors for specific formation requirements and information on which form of legal entity would be most advisable for you.

U.S., Canadian and European Union country citizens do not need a visa to enter Denmark if their stay is less than 90 days. However, they must hold a valid passport. The passport union holds minimal border formalities between the Nordic countries but passports must always be carried.
