There are indeed some legitimate work at home opportunities that do require an investment: for example, if you choose to work with a multi-level marketing company or you want to become a party plan company representative, you will most likely need to purchase products or a demonstration kit, as well as order forms and other needed supplies.
The cost can vary greatly depending on the product line from under $100 to several hundred.
BUT any legitimate company should tell you - in writing - what’s involved in the program they are selling,including the upfront costs and compensation plan, in clear language, and give you time to make an educated, informed clear decision!
