The best of the top network marketing companies who have survived the MLM business seem to have one thing in common when it comes to staying in business. They can come up with ways to improve upon what has already been successful for them.

Think about that for a moment and if you are either transitioniong between companies or completely new to the MLM business scene and looking for a good vehicle to jump on board, there are some important things to consider.

Every once in a while a company comes along that just seems to explode to prominence and for those fortunate to catch it during the all important growth phase, amazing incomes can be earned in a short space of time.

These are dream opportunities but how do you catch them and become part of one of these top network marketing companies? A crystal ball would be handy but let's be honest, they don't come around very often.

So do you just simply join a network marketing company that's been around for ad infinitum or do you wait? Well, neither. There are some simple qualifying rules you can apply to any network marketing company which will give you some guide as to whether it can become your vehicle to financial independence.

Here are four solid questions you should ask about a company before giving it any consideration:

-In my opinion, probably the main consideration and that is what does the company have to offer in the way of products? If they are offering what everyone else is then move on.

- Look for a company which is showing steady growth in the first five years of operation. Most don't survive this heady period.

- Look at the companies management team. Are they experienced network marketers with a solid track record in the industry.

- If possible, try to get a handle on the company's financial situation. Do they have solid financial backing to survive the first few years in business while they are getting established.

That's it. The first point is of utmost importance. The makings of top network marketing companies are those who can take something which is already successful and either improve upon it or add a different twist to it.
