Lightyear Wireless Services, get free phone services.  The company does not deal in contracts or that is the story anyway.  The monthly fee for wireless phone service is $59.95 per month.  What that $59.95 per month gets you is unlimited talk, text and web.  That in and of itself is expensive from a pre-paid perspective.  Straight Talk is only $45.00 per month for the same service.

  The financial opportunity, has a start up cost of around $300.00.  You get your own mirrored web site.  You sell other people on the business opportunity and you make a bunch of money on getting them started and helping them do the same.

  In other words, Wireless goes MLM.  It all sounds good but is more hype than reality.  I can't begin to even want to talk anyone into spending more money for the same level of service they can get for less everywhere else.  What I am impressed with is the fact that this company is still in business.  We found the opportunity advertised in a popular Business Opportunity magazine that is over a year old.

  At least the company is financially solid.  I hate beating up any company, but getting to the real gems is what it takes.  Our goal is to find you the best and get rid of the rest.

It's worth checking out.  There are area's of the nation where this company may make sense.
http://www.globalvisionteaminc.com/ is the web site for the opportunity.  You have to give them some of your own information in order to continue past the first page.  We are expecting a sales call from them and hate to say we plan on just blowing them off when they call.  Only because we were researching the site for this article.  If your big into MLM, then it's worth your time.  If your not, then this is not for you as it's really a very very tough sell.

  Our own rating for this is 3 out of 10.  There are much better deals out there.

The BBQ Cleaner - Business Opportunity

The BBQ Cleaner business opportunity.  Talk about a company that shoots themselves in the foot both in their print advertising and on line advertising.  Make $77,000.00 per year cleaning BBQ grills.  Start up for under $15,000.00.  Okay, to begin with the figure to earn $77,000.00 per year is based on a cleaning fee of between $99.00 to $149.00.  The work takes about one and a half hours is typical according their advertising.

  With the average grill costing about $129.00 new, how many people could possibly think that it's cheaper to have a grill cleaned by a company that charges these kinds of rates as opposed to buying a new grill?  It makes more sense to us to throw the grill away and buy a new one for $129.00 if we are that worried about the looks of the grill or the grill being clean enough to continue to use.

  Actually, I would be hard pressed to pay even $40.00 to have someone clean my grill that I paid $129.00 for.   CLICK HERE to see the business opportunity web site.  What is not a surprise if you do read through the site is that they try and sell the opportunity as an add on business to your existing business.  Our rating on this opportunity?  2 out of 10.  Look somewhere else.  This just looks like people trying to move equipment disguised as a business opportunity.  We are not saying the business op isn't legitimate, it's just not a smart looking one in our opinion. 

Welcome To American Business Opportunities Blog

Hello and welcome to the American Business Opportunities blog site.  Here we will be reporting on all kinds of business opportunities and showing you the good, the bad and the ugly.  Not everything you see or read is a bed of roses.  What we are going to attempt on this site that will prove to set us apart from all the other sites, is give you a more rounded view of various business opportunities that you normally do not get anywhere else.  We will do everything we can to cut through the fluff that you normally find everywhere else.

  A great example.  Anyone remember SMC?  Specialty Merchandise Corporation?  Sounded good when they were plugging themselves on TV.  Well their own sales force who opted in through those commercials have filed numerous complaints about the parent company.  We personally saw a number of people selling SMC merchandise at local flea markets and asked them about their own experiences with the company.  None had anything memorable to say and none ever stayed around long as they could not sell the majority of their goods.

  The merchandise was fine, but it was all stuff you saw on TV and you had an idea in the back of your mind what that flea market vendor paid for the item and so you had an idea of what you were willing to pay for the goods and it usually did not match what the vendor was willing to accept for the goods.  What that told us at that time is that SMC was shooting themselves and everyone else in the foot with the way they were campaigning.

  CLICK HERE for a business review of SMC.  This review is not at all pretty.  There are a large number of bad reviews on line as well as BBB listing issues.  We have also learned that SMC has changed their name to Smart Living Company.  The issues were to overwhelming for them to maintain their old name.  CLICK HERE  for the article about the company name change.  But have their business practices changed?  We just reviewed numerous complaints about the company so it looks like it has just made itself over to get rid of the issues it had created for itself under SMC.

This is the Smart Living Company intro video on You Tube.  CLICK HERE for a complaint on the Smart Living Company on Ripoff Report's website.  CLICK HERE for the really ugly.  Numerous complaints filed against Smart Living Company.

  Now is this what will be typical of our coverage?  That is both a yes and a no.  We will be looking for the best business opportunities out there, however, when we run across issues like this, we want you to be aware.  We will look at as many angles as we can about every company we cover.  Once again, welcome.
