Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I’m Considering Becoming a Freedom Candles Business Owner
I don’t have sales experience – how will I be successful in this business?
It’s surprisingly easy to sell Freedom Candles and we don’t expect you to have sales or business experience. It’s like when you tell someone about your favorite fishing hole or share a recipe with a friend; it’s as simple as announcing your business and explaining what you personally enjoy about the candles and what they represent to you. Plus, Freedom Candle Co. provides you will sales tools, marketing materials, and training to make sales and promotion easy.
I don’t know much about candles – how do you help?
Freedom Candle Co. makes it easy. Once signed up, you’ll have access to detailed descriptions and materials you can share with prospective customers regarding candle scents, candle care, buying options, costs, and more. Your owner’s portal will have everything you need to learn about the quality and selling points of the candles.
Is there a monthly or yearly quota for the number of candles I must sell?
No. Life happens, and sometimes you have to take time off promoting your business. Although we will be providing you with promotional ideas and materials to build your business, there’s no requirement to use them.
Freedom Candle Co. will not charge you or discontinue your business if you sell a small number of candles or even if you sell none at all.
The benefit of having your own personalized website is that your customers can buy from your site even when you’re not actively promoting it. As long as your monthly FC Ownership fee is paid, your website and your ability to earn remain active.
Is Freedom Candle Co. a multilevel marketing (MLM) company?
NO! Absolutely not!! Multilevel marketing companies encourage people to build sales teams of sub-sellers. At Freedom Candle Co., we have designed the company so that each individual business owner prospers equally based on the number of candles he or she sells.
As a Freedom Candle Seller, you can certainly encourage friends, family, and members of your community to become their own Seller/Business Owner – and we will provide you with a unique referral code that earns a bonus in that case. Although you will not be earning a portion of that person’s future sales, you can take pride in knowing that you’ve helped create another independent business owner.

How can I determine what I will earn from selling the candles? And how often will I get paid?
Using your personalized website, you will be offering multiple candles at multiple price points to your customers. Your earnings will be based on 60% of the sales price, which equates to 100% of the net proceeds of each sale. Each month, we will first apply your earnings against the monthly fee. When your earnings exceed the fee, we will remit the balance directly to you. The following is a sample chart illustrating your potential earnings. The more you sell, the more you earn – it’s that simple.
| Online Candle Price* | # of Candles Sold per Week | Candle Earnings | Your Monthly Fee ** | How Much Do You Owe that Month? | How Much Profit you Made that Month? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Why do the candles cost $20 on average? I’ve seen much less expensive candles at the grocery store and online.
Our candles are proudly American-made using premium materials sourced from U.S. suppliers — from clean-burning wax to safe, high-quality wicks and fragrances. Many cheaper candles on the market are mass-produced overseas with paraffin wax and low-grade ingredients that can release harmful chemicals when burned.
By keeping production in the U.S., we support American jobs and maintain strict quality and safety standards. Customers value that difference — and they’re willing to pay a fair price for a candle that’s safer for their homes, supports local jobs, and fuels your journey as a business owner.
