What an independent distributor is
An Independent Distributor buys Herbalife products from the company and uses or distributes them on their own account. You work independently: you decide how much time to spend and how to organise your activity, and you are responsible for your own expenses, legal obligations and taxes.
There is no fixed salary. What you earn depends on your activity, your customers and your results, and it is not guaranteed.
What to review before you decide
| Topic | What to check |
|---|---|
| Agreement | Read the full distributor agreement before accepting it, including obligations and termination terms. |
| Costs | Review the price of any starter package, of your orders and of your own business expenses. |
| Taxes | Ask a tax professional what tax obligations apply to you as an independent business owner. |
| Income | Keep in mind it is not guaranteed and that recruiting people alone is not a way to earn money. |
| Communication | Talk about the products and the activity honestly, without promising income or health results. |
