How do i determine if an online business is legit or not?

Question

yes i was looking at all these work from home businesses that are on the internet and there are tons of them, yet my question is: is there a website besides BBB that will tell you if the work from home business/job is a scam or rate it? if so can someone send me a link or some advice on how to check the company's background and recognitions. i would appreciate it. thanks.

Hi,

My husband and I have been working on a home business for a couple of months now and receiving a substantial income from this already.  This is very different to most of the usual home businesses but have a look for yourself at the following site:

If you want anymore details get in contact with us.

I would recommend searching the business name and using the word scam in google this will give you an idea.  But as I say we have come accross this one and it is working great for us so far!!!  We searched for a long time and found so many scams.  There are alot that try to use a variation of the legit names to mislead people so be careful of this.

Thanks

Miranda-

someone shared ripoffreport.com with me once and it is helpful to check for those kinds of things... also be sure to google the company, try to find the owner, the corporate office location, reviews, etc. etc.

Hope this helps!

First, your looking into a business completely the wrong way.  Something that all business people know! Don't go to blogs or reports such as ripoffreports or watchdog or any other blog spot, or even youtube. because they don't distinguish if a business is legit, real or not, nor the BBB either (other than seeing if it's registered with the bbb). The only thing you use the BBB for is to see if a business is registered.  If it is then you know it's legit.   Blogs are places that negative people go to only to vent their frustrations on something that did not work for them. Usually these people are the ones who did not do what was needed to succeed in a business because they didn't put the time or effort needed to succeed, or do what other's who "have" succeeded in that particular industry had advised them to do. They didn't follow the advice or properly take advantage of any training in the industry that was offered. Anyhow, the majority of the negative things that are usually 80 percent false accusations. They can't fess up to the fact of the real reason why they failed in business. Instead of standing up and admitting to what they really did or did not do, they try and pass the buck onto someone or something else to try and justify their failure. Basically to make themselves feel better and to distract the attention of the "real" reason why they didn't succeed. That's what blogs are basically about. So when searching for a business for yourself, look for yourself, not anyone else's. Talk to the people who are involved in the company "now" not then. The ones involved then and not now are failures that are only going to give you negative feed back and not tell you the truth as to why they didn't succeed and label it a scam or even to the extent in some occasions calling it a fraud. Which isn't right. You need to be a leader not a follower. If your a follower of negative impact, then that's how life will always be for you, negative! Do you want to learn from those who have succeeded, or do you want to try and learn from someone who failed to succeed?  I'd go with the ones that already have succeeded.

There's an article that I got all this info from that I recommend you read.  It gives you quite a few steps in how to check on the company as your asking in your detailed message.  I think this article will help you determine if the business that your looking into is legit or not.

Good Luck to you!
