Network marketing & direct selling

Your UK and EU markets, run by people who know network marketing

For 15 years we've helped US network marketing and direct selling companies open, run and grow their UK and EU markets. We handle the company, the money and the operations, so you can focus on your field.

The details generalists miss

Commission payouts

Paying independent distributors across the UK and the EU means local tax treatment, invoicing rules and payment rails. We set it up so your field gets paid correctly and on time, from your company's own bank account.

Product compliance

Supplements, cosmetics, home care and other consumer products each have their own rules in the UK and the EU. We've registered 150+ food supplements and 100+ cosmetic products, from compliance checks to reformulation.

Distributor support

Your field calls about orders, commissions and back-office questions. Our multilingual team answers in their language, inside your systems, and knows how compensation plans work.

Launch spikes

Product launches and promotions can multiply volume overnight. Our support operation has scaled to 200 agents, so a good month doesn't break your operations.

Switching providers?

Setup is $2,500 when you switch. We work alongside your current provider for 30 days at no extra cost, and plan the handover so your field doesn't notice.

Marketing for the UK and the EU

Product claims and income claims that work in the US can break UK and EU rules. We review them and adapt your field and customer marketing.

Switching without your field noticing

Weeks 1 to 2

We review your current setup, contracts, data and open issues. You share access and documents.

Weeks 3 to 4

Entity takeover or formation, bank account application, VAT and EORI. Support agents start training on your products and compensation plan.

Weeks 5 to 6

Warehouse and stock transfer plan, helpdesk set-up, parallel running with your current provider.

Weeks 7 to 8

First commission run from your company's own bank account, support live, your previous provider steps out.

Timelines depend on banks, authorities and how quickly documents are ready.

UK and EU rules we run your operations around

  • UK trading schemes rules and the UK ban on pyramid promotional schemes
  • The EU ban on pyramid promotional schemes under the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive
  • Independent distributor status and VAT on commissions in each market
  • The DSA UK and Seldia codes of conduct your field expects
  • Product rules for supplements, cosmetics and consumer goods in the UK and the EU

We set up and run your operations to work within these rules. Your own legal counsel advises on your compensation plan.

How we pay your field

Your field should never have to think about how Europe works.

Commissions are paid from your own UK or EU company's bank account, which we open and run for you. Atlantic Link never holds your money or your distributors' money.

Consultants give you a plan. We run it the next day

Strategy firms and law firms tell you what to do in Europe. We do it: the entity, the bank account, VAT, product registration, warehouse, support and the monthly operations that follow.

Questions

Do you work with hybrid or affiliate models?

Yes. Whether you call them distributors, brand partners, affiliates or members, the operational needs in the UK and the EU are similar, and we've worked with all of them.

Do you understand our compensation plan?

Yes. We know how compensation plans work and how to navigate them, and our support team gets up to speed on yours quickly, so your distributors get accurate answers about commissions, ranks and bonuses from day one.

Can you take over from our current European provider?

Yes. Setup is $2,500 when you switch, we overlap with your current provider for 30 days at no extra cost, and after our first call we can introduce you to a current client.
