self employed distributor?

[RavioliOnToast]

not sure if I've posted in the correct section, but just wanted some advice as can't seem to find any info online.

If I was to become an independent distributor for one of the usual 'juice plus, herbalife, forever livimg' etc companies, what do you do in terms of paying tax, doing books etc? do.you need to register as self employed? or would I be 'employed' by the person that signed me up?

if anybody else has any info.regarding this line of.work, I'd be massively grateful.

Well if you're independant then you're self employed aren't you?.

Personally I wouldn't touch those companies with a barge pole. "If shit was food we'd all be eating it" is an apt saying.

Please don't throw money away, it's harder to earn it than spend it.
