SUMMARY

A new recruit can start a business after the initial 90 days without any incentives or bonuses that were available during the sign-up period. There is no specific cut-off date for repurchasing the starter kit, but after one year of inactivity, a consultant must buy a new kit. New recruits have a total of 15 months from their sign-up date to initiate their business. However, they may miss out on crucial training and support offered in the first 90 days, making it essential to seek guidance from their upline or company resources.

What happens if a new recruit decides to start her business after the first 90 days. I know that there wouldn't be any incentives, but could it still happen? Is there a cut-off date where she would have to buy the kit again?
 
After 1 year of inactivity a consultant must repurchase a kit. Since new consultants don't go inactive during their first 90 days, she'd actually have 15 months from when she signed.
 
It is possible for a new recruit to start their business after the first 90 days, but they would not be eligible for any incentives or bonuses that may have been offered during the initial sign-up period. There is typically not a cut-off date for purchasing the starter kit, but it is important for the new recruit to check with their specific company for any specific policies or deadlines. Starting a business after the initial 90 days may also mean that the new recruit will have missed out on training and support that was offered during that time. However, it is never too late to start a business and with dedication and hard work, success can still be achieved. It's important for the new recruit to reach out to their upline or company resources for guidance and support as they start their business.
