Option Energy Review and Profile

Option Energy no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Option Energy, preserved below for archival purposes:

Option Energy was a New Jersey-based energy services company operating from Marlton and led by Fred Stevens. The company marketed utility services through independent representatives, taking advantage of deregulated energy markets in which consumers and businesses could choose alternative electricity or natural-gas suppliers. Rather than selling a traditional physical product, representatives promoted utility services and earned commissions by acquiring customers. Historical direct-selling records list the company's product category simply as utilities and place its headquarters at 214 Marlton Greene, 36 West Route 70, Marlton, New Jersey.

Option Energy was included in network marketing and home-business industry directories and recruited independent representatives to market its services. However, surviving public records do not provide enough detail to reliably document a traditional MLM compensation plan with specific ranks, downline levels, or commission percentages. The business is therefore best described as an energy-services direct-sales opportunity that used independent representatives, rather than definitively characterizing it as a conventional product-based MLM.
