The document provides information about multi-level marketing (MLM) companies. It defines MLM as a method of distributing products through independent distributors rather than traditional retail outlets. Distributors can immediately start their own business with little resources or capital. MLM is a legitimate business model as long as there is a real product and compensation is based on product sales rather than recruitment alone. The document uses an example to illustrate how income can grow exponentially through MLM by recruiting others and earning commissions on their sales.
