Paying for the Starter Kit
Kit Loan Program
The loan kit is a typical way of starting as a consultant. The cost of the kit is $480.00, if you purchase the kit by loan; you only pay $50.00 up front, plus tax (if applicable) and shipping. Once you start with parties you take your cut with 20% of sales minus 20% of your profit to be paid to Beyond the Classroom™ until the kit is paid in full. This example is also in the consultant handbook see page 7.

|---|---|---|
| $25.00 Shipping | − $21.60 (20% of consultant profit for kit payment) | |
