Ban Multi Level Marketing businesses from trading in the UK

Closed 83 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should ban any business that operates under the Multilevel marketing business model from trading in the UK.
This business model is extremely predatory and less than 10% of people who partake in such businesses make enough money from it to be making a liveable wage.

Many people tricked into these businesses actually lose money as there are often monthly minimum commission requirements to retain seller status. It's also almost always impossible to make any money without recruiting others under oneself, thus an MLM business is essentially a pyramid scheme with products.
