The difference between an S and a C. Essentially everyone starts off as a C corporation, you have the option of changing your corporation to a S Corporation, which is a corporation that makes a valid election to be taxed under Subchapter S of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. Its all about taxes, as an S Corporation, you do not pay income taxes.
If you go to the IRS.gov site, you can find more information on it and they have the form to do the change, all you have to do is fax it in and wait for their determination. Instead, the corporation's income or losses are divided among and passed through to its shareholders. The shareholders must then report the income or loss on their own individual income tax returns.

Hi all.
I'm new and getting ready to take the ACP101 course but there is a $99 fee for this. Is this correct? In a previous post I heard maybe $39 bucks but a hundred - WOW! This is after my $26 background check that I already paid and passed. I'm also reading that once I pass the ACP101 course that I have to pay for client training that could cost anywhere from $100-$300 as well as incorporating a business which runs around $150. This could very well cost me over $700 just to get started. My concern is if I do this, will I be getting assignments or is this just a way to get my money?
Anyone know how long after you complete all of this you actually start working? Any info or suggestions would be extremley grateful.
Thanks in advance...
AGENTJG

I have gone through the application process, the background check, the tests and the incorporations and have passed all and now I am sitting waiting for work. The first company that came on was Carnival and I didn't jump on it, it was taken within a few hours. Today, Encore Marketing International came up and I have done some research on them and it appears that they may be a scam company. Can anyone tell me, is this normal for Arise? Will there be anymore legitimate companys to choose from? I have spent all this money and I am hoping for a legitimate company to work for, not a scam. I'm getting a little discouraged, I have been waiting about a month.

I feel your pain I have been waiting for about a month as well
As for the Encore opportunity, Well you didnt miss anything. I logged in at 2 min after the signup and the classes were already full.
this seems to be the norm for the last 5-6 months, only a few opportunities, and those are filled seconds after they become available.
Its obvious that they recently enrolled far more vsc's than they have clients for.

I am thinking of working with Arise as well. I just paid for the background check and know it is asking me to take acp 101 test which will cost $100.00 and from what I understand need an 85 in order to pass.
If I decide to take this next step, do you know if I be able to begin work at that point after I pass this test, or will they ask for more money again. So far I seen alot say this is a scam and doesn't work, they tried to get calls but missd the time's to sign in to get these calls.
I was wondering if you could help me in this matter, I am eager to start working but not if is here to grab all my money and left drowing in yet another scam or hoack.

I also work for arise and LOVE being able to work from home. I have been working for them for 2 yrs now and can make -depending on how much i want to work- anywhere from $800 - $2200 a month. I admit i was hesitant as you are with all the initial startup costs but I knew a friend of a friend that had worked for them for a few years and loved it so I gave it a shot. You have to be somewhat flexible w/ your hrs. I always try to make myself available for when hrs are released because they best or most desired hrs (usually while kids are at school) go first. There are ways with each client to earn the ability to post for your hrs a day early (called pre-select) but it is not necessary. I have missed posting before and periodically checked back and saw things open back up. Agents tend to take hrs frantically and then they release them at a later time.. sometimes just minutes before the next shift. I would definitely recommend Arise to anyone looking for a good at home job! If I am stuck on a call that goes past closing or am thinking how bad whatever the issue of the moment is... I have to remind myself that I am lucky - I am working at home (most times in my pj's) - and i really can't complain!!

Well I was hesitant just like many of you to spend my hard earned cash on what I believed to be a scam, however I have paid already for my background check, my ACP test which I passed on the 1st try, and I just incorporated through Texas which was $500. I went with the LLC option and just awaiting now through my state to get filed and then I can incorporate. Now I have been reading that many people believe this is a scam, but I have done my fair share of reading on the internet to whether this is a scam or not. I do not believe so, as Arise has already been established for a couple of years now, since 1996 I believe. I will post once I actually start working and let everyone know how it goes. Sometimes you have to take a risk!

Hi mrbill,
If you want part time work, try working on freelance projects. I've worked anywhere from 10 - 40 hours a week. There are lots of projects that have a set amount of hours that you can work whenever you have free time.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers!

Hello all!
I am seriously interested in starting my own home call center business and am checking into a few companies, particularly Arise. I know I will have start up costs and will need to purchase a little bit of epuipment and upgrade my internet service...I currently have dial up! I am perfectly willing to spend the money BUT my question is, how diffucult is it to get work with this company? I don't want to commit to a separate phone line and high speed internet only to find out that I will not be hired. But it is my understanding that I need to have these things in place to be considered. Any input would be helpful! Thanks!

Arise is not a scam, but exploit you as much as they can. First of all you pay for classes and some incapable people teach you; some of them do not know English. Secondly when you start you have a contract but Arise can terminate you for any reason even if you follow all clauses of the contract. In the middle of the season they always come up with different ideas to reduce your payment and they do it without any reasonable explanation. Once you ask – you are terminated. They monitor all calls and punish for not saying this word or that word. There is no way to complain or explain, you don't have access to alive person. All of the management is hiding from you. They are untouchable. You work for yellow pennies. They treat you as at school not as partners. You take 100 unnecessary exams for which you pay.

I have been with Arise for over a year. I watched friends work it for 3 years before I decided it was legit. I love it. I have 4 kids and work all around their school/sports schedules. The set up cost I feel is cheap considering if you get a new job you would have to pay for gas, new wardrobe,lunches out....add it up and less than $500 is well worth it. I even bought a new desktop solely for work, and made it all back in my first month. The only downside I have is the selction of hours. There are alot of hours, but you dont always get the exact ones you want,as people all over are trying for the same prime hours. Yes, as some said they can tell you you have to work a min of 20 hrs, than drop it, but people release hours continually, and my top client that I worked 40 hrs a week for a year solid just dropped to 1st pick 15hrs, than 24 hrs later you have chance to select more. I have still been able to work 30-40 hours! That is really the only downside, but if you work two clients like a few of my friends, than you are doing like min 15 with one and maybe min of 20 with the other, so you are guaranteed your 35 or more. Hours always open,and stick with your biggest known companies! Don't rush and just select a client you have never heard of! Not worth it. I am full time from home and am very happy in my decision with Arise. As far as not having a "Live" person to talk: you do, every client has Performance Fascilitators and they are your go between. Almost every client requires a 90% schedule committment adherence, which is not unlike any other job. If you are scheduled 40 hour week at your office, you have to work. With this is if you choose not to work, you can release your shift, but you want to try to do it 48hrs before the shift. If it is within 48hrs, you can actually release almost 8 hrs, work the rest of your posted schedule and still have the 90%. That allows for sick time,emergencies, computer issues, etc....At this time Arise is working on a release/pick up system, which will be great. You will not be penalized if someone else grabs your shift!! Good Luck and go for it!

It's not a scam. It's legitimate and actually pays better than most work-at-homes. I recommend wholeheartedly.
Moms who don't want to leave their kids with sitters. . .ARISE IS THE RIGHT MOVE FOR YOU!!
By the way, if you can't afford to the startup costs right away, there are Arise professionals who are seeking people to work under their corporations. Go to the site and contact Arise directly to find these opportunities.

It depends, you need to pay the background fee which is like $12 or $30 depending on the state that you live in, and then the arise certified professional fee which is about $100 or so.. once you do that, you need to become incorporated which depends what you want to do LLC or S corp... I did a LLC through Texas and it came about $300 + fees so about $500, (fees vary by state and type of corp, can be more can be less).. but once your all set.. you can start making money, some of the classes are about $150 - $200.. so your looking at about $800 give or take to shell up front, but every penny is worth it since your company is actually the right hand support of the big companies you choose you represent..

Right now I am not working an opportunity, but I do log in everyday and check what is out there.. at this point if you sign up now you can select from a whole list of things, not sure if I can name them for "security purposes" but there's like 6 openings right now for big well known companies. Give it a try, its legit, and if you want to make money, invest a little bit, and grab an opportunity.

havent heard anything in Canada yet. Have you gone to Arise.com and looked into it? I am going into my second year and love it. Takes time to get use to, working from home, having hours for the most part you want, but there are times I work morning than again at night.

Hello,
Can anyone honestly tell me just how long it takes to finish and be at the point where we can actually start working? I'm at the point of just finishing with the "online meeting" where different things are explained to a group of about 20 people. I don't have a corp set up but that can be done soon enough on legal zoom. What I'm more interested in is the time it takes to actually finish the training. Also, if I have the insurance license, how does that work and do you make more? Thanks!

hey everyone... I just stated with Arise. My friend started her business with Arise and she hired me and a few others to work for ATT Mobility, my friend get a 10% off of our checks and we are paid $10-$14 and hour taking payments, upgrading, shipping products to clients, and stuff with their accounts. I had to pay $15 for my background test which is also your credit history. I have a minimum of 20hrs a week and a max of 40hrs with her. Also I like it cuz it isnt a 1099 where you have to pay your taxes at the end of the year... also I am taking the training for FREE, and get a $99 vocher for any other training I choose to do for Arise. I plan on starting my own buisness after i get the hang of it. but basically if my friend has 25 employees in total, she deducts 10% off our checks and it will leave her with $1,000 per pay check. I did get to pick my hours too which was great. Also for now there is no weekend work. just mon-fri. It will be optional in the future though. every client is different and i guess some have spent more than others but so far everything but the background was FREE, and customer service did answer right away and they said they where open 24hrs a day 7 days a week so i like that too....
