ACN Inc.

ACN Inc. was a multi-level marketing (MLM) company that sold telecommunications, energy, and other services through a network of independent representatives. Founded in 1993 as American Communications Network, the company rebranded to ACN Inc. over time.

ACN's business model involved representatives recruiting other representatives, from whose sales they would also earn commissions. This structure has been the subject of scrutiny and debate, with some critics alleging it operated as a pyramid scheme. ACN maintained that its business model was legitimate due to its focus on selling services to customers, not just recruiting participants.

The company operated in multiple countries, including North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Services offered varied by region and included telecommunications services like phone and internet, energy services, and security systems.

ACN faced regulatory investigations and legal challenges in various jurisdictions related to its marketing practices.
