If you are operating a MLM company currently and you are looking for another payment processing solution and are able to provide merchant statements and previous processing history, you will be able to be approved easily compared with a start up MLM company.
Multi level marketing companies accept an upfront payment for customers to own their own franchise of the MLM company. This is risky because the majority of people purchasing are unable to run their own business and will fail.

It becomes high risk because 95% of all businesses fail and this creates disgruntle customers which urges chargebacks and higher than normal refunds.
