Is chain marketing illegal, and is chain operation legal?

Yes, harm others and harm yourself.

It is better to know about the legitimate startup platform.

Is it a variant of MLM?

Legal Analysis: There is no accurate definition of whether the voluntary chain operation industry is illegal. Judging from the model of the voluntary chain operation industry, its activity mode is obviously in line with the characteristics of pulling heads, paying members, and developing downlines to seek illegal benefits, which is similar to an illegal pyramid scheme, and should be illegal in principle.

However, it is not possible to adopt a "one-size-fits-all" approach, and this model also exists in some legal businesses, so whether it is legal needs to wait for the improvement of national laws.

Legal basis: Article 8 of the Provisions on the Administration of Registration of the Business Scope of Enterprises An enterprise shall apply to the enterprise registration authority for a change of registration within 30 days from the date on which the enterprise makes a resolution or decision on the change. If a licensed business project is involved, it shall apply to the enterprise registration authority for change of registration within 30 days from the date of approval by the examination and approval authority with the approval documents and certificates.

A partnership enterprise or sole proprietorship enterprise shall apply to the enterprise registration authority for a change of registration within 15 days from the date of making the decision to change its business scope.

1. Is the chain business a pyramid scheme?

1. The chain business is not a pyramid scheme. The chain operation industry is not regarded as a pyramid sale, and it is a new form of business introduced by the state; Chain operation is a form of business organization and management system, refers to the operation of a number of similar goods or services, in a certain form of a consortium, under the overall planning of the professional division of labor, and on the basis of the division of labor to implement centralized management, the independent business activities combined into the overall scale of operation, so as to achieve economies of scale; It is a business model; There is no legislation to talk about illegality, and of course it is not legal, and the introduction of a new project by the state is bound to be seriously hindered by legislation as soon as it comes up.

2. Legal basis: Article 2 of the Regulations on the Prohibition of Pyramid Selling.

"Pyramid schemes" as used in these Regulations refers to the conduct of organizers or operators recruiting personnel to obtain illegal benefits, disrupt economic order, and affect social stability by calculating and paying remuneration to the recruited personnel on the basis of the number of personnel directly or indirectly recruited or their sales performance, or by requiring the recruited personnel to pay a certain fee as a condition to obtain membership qualifications.

Article 7. The following behaviors are pyramid schemes:

1) Where organizers or operators seek illegal benefits by recruiting personnel, requesting that the recruited personnel recruit other personnel to join, and calculating and paying remuneration (including material rewards and other economic benefits, the same below) to the recruited personnel on the basis of the number of personnel they directly or indirectly develop;

2) Organizers or proprietors obtain qualifications to join or recruit other personnel to join by recruiting personnel, requiring the recruited personnel to pay fees, or paying fees in disguised form by means such as subscribing to commodities, and seeking illegal benefits;

3) Where the organizer or operator recruits personnel, requests that the recruited personnel recruit other personnel to join, forming a relationship between the upper and lower lines, and calculates and pays the upline remuneration on the basis of the sales performance of the lower line, seeking illegal benefits.

Second, what are the chain business models.

The chain business model is as follows:

1. Direct chain. Chain management can allow more people to participate in a better profit model; The three forms of direct chain, franchise chain and free chain will make participants more flexible and can choose the way of chain operation according to their actual situation;

2. Franchise chain. Franchise chains are fundamentally different from direct chains; Franchise chain is a model in which a successful enterprise grants its brand, operation mode, product, business model, etc. to its partners, and then the partners operate it; This model can be a sharing system or a royalty system to cooperate; This model generally allows more outstanding talents to join their own brand operations, which is a good development model for themselves and others;

3. Free chain. The free chain is also a voluntary chain, and both sides of the cooperation belong to independent operating companies, using a unified store name, product, and sales method; In this cooperation model, both parties can freely choose to cooperate or withdraw, and the mechanism is relatively more flexible.

Chain management is a kind of business format, such as Gome and KFC, which are retail stores with a chain business model, and are naturally not pyramid schemes. But I guess the person who asked the question is talking about the so-called investment of 69,800 and a return of 10.4 million yuan (of course, the amount of investment and return may not be 698 and 1,040), which is now popular in various cities across the country, and claims to be a chain operation of GJ's secret project. This is an out-and-out multi-level pyramid scheme.

If it is said that MLM is the first, then the chain management of this kind of multi-level multi-level marketing is the most immoral and harmful of all the varieties of MLM.

If it is a social crime, then MLM is the most difficult cancer.

If you or a friend of yours are invited to study a project that you have not been notified of beforehand, then it is 100% yes. If you can't identify it, you can turn to various anti-transmission organizations. Such as the Utopia Anti-Transmission Rescue Center.

Is chain management a pyramid scheme So what exactly is chain management.

Chain management is not a pyramid scheme, like KFC and McDonald's are franchise chain operations. However, now there are a lot of pyramid schemes hanging the signboard of chain operation to deceive people, specifically about the qualification of the enterprise, you can ask the local industrial and commercial department. What is recognized by the industrial and commercial department is the formal chain operation.

It's useless to look at the license, there are too many fake things.

It's either a chain sale, or a few shops hooking up to sell something.

Pyramid marketing refers to the illegal act of the organizer recruiting personnel, calculating and paying remuneration to the recruited personnel on the basis of the number or performance of the recruited personnel directly or indirectly, or requiring the recruited personnel to obtain membership qualifications on the condition of paying a certain fee. The essence of MLM is "Ponzi **", that is, the money of the latecomer is used to distribute the income of the predecessor.

chain operation; For example, KFC, Starbucks Cafe, such chain stores, MLM is a personal behavior, there is no company and industrial and commercial registration, the product has no applicable value, and some groups of fire are better than no product directly handed over to the people above, all by pulling people to share the money. Is there anything else I don't understand.

I can tell you clearly that it is a pyramid scheme, chain management is a gimmick proposed by the southern pyramid scheme, the success they say is very simple, as long as you copy the successful experience, you can succeed by finding someone to learn and ask for advice, those are all mirrors, it is recommended that you withdraw quickly, if you pay the money to come back quickly, run as far away from them as you can, you can check the southern pyramid scheme on the Internet, mental control is sometimes more terrible than physical control, don't take chances, even if pie will fall from the sky, the one that can smash you is definitely a discus!

What is the chain business model, is it a pyramid scheme?

Franchise management is not a pyramid scheme, it is very good and can make money.

Summary. Voluntary chain operation, also known as "special chain operation industry", "free chain operation industry", and in some areas called "Hefei 1040 Sunshine Project", "private mutual wealth management", "private partnership private equity", "pure capital operation" and so on.
