Univia function within the private care MLM area of interest and, in line with the corporate’s Insurance policies and Procedures, are based mostly out of Utah within the US.
The Florida handle offered on the Univia web site seems to be for product returns solely.
Univia fails to offer any govt data on their web site. The Univia web site does have an “about part” but it surely solely comprises advertising and marketing data.
Additional analysis reveals Kevin Hafen credited as Univia’s CEO.
Hafen doesn’t appear to have an MLM historical past so far as I can see. In truth apart from a Fb profile deserted since 2016, Hafen doesn’t appear to have any digital footprint in any respect.
It’s all the time a bit unusual when a no person immediately pops up because the CEO of an MLM firm, so I’m flagging this as considerably suspicious.
As all the time, if an MLM firm isn’t overtly upfront about who’s operating or owns it, suppose lengthy and onerous about becoming a member of and/or handing over any cash.

Conclusion
My general impression of Univia is that it’s a fairly vanilla expertise. Which doesn’t actually click on with the corporate’s entire “Instagram influencer” advertising and marketing technique.
Univia’s Founders carry their expertise of constructing on-line manufacturers and bridge the hole between profitable social promoting and the face-to-face method many are used too.
With social media the way in which it’s, there’s no excuse to having the ability construct your individual empire!
We actually have the world at our finger ideas, we have now the facility to take management of our personal earnings, and our day by day grind!
Are you able to make that change? DM us if you’re!
Yeah so in case you’re going to go along with that advertising and marketing pitch, most likely finest to have at the very least some form of social media presence to again it up.
Univia does have social media accounts, however they solely got here into existence a couple of months in the past. The place is the social proof expertise from “Univia’s founders”?
The shortage of govt data offered on Univia’s web site is telling. As is Kevin Hafen having no digital footprint.
The way you going to be the CEO of a social media advertising and marketing MLM firm and have zero social media presence?
On the compensation plan of issues nothing notably stood out besides necessary autoship on Premium and Professional Influencer Packs. Why?
Honest sufficient they are often cancelled by why pressure your associates onto them to start with?
The remainder of the plan is definitely pretty well-balanced and does present enough incentive for retail gross sales. With out affiliate rank standards nonetheless, I can’t precisely gauge whether or not there’s a robust sufficient retail focus or not.
Which brings me to my subsequent level – why is there no compensation plan materials on the Univia web site?
The one official compensation materials accessible are movies on Univia’s YouTube channel, relationship again from December 2018.
Y’all alleged to be social media rockstars, so why is there so little data on the market even months out from launch?
Not adequate.
Pure conjecture on my half, however I get the sense Univia took place after somebody was shopping Instagram and thought “perhaps I can get a chunk of that”.
Kim Kardashian tradition is rampant on social media and it’s no secret that product promotion is huge enterprise – for the suitable folks and the suitable manufacturers.
Univia attaches merchandise put collectively by who is aware of who, and has been let free on Instagram. With minimal further data offered, or any sense of a long-term sport plan.
It comes throughout as extra of a “what if?” enterprise (for the homeowners) and as an MLM alternative I’m simply not seeing it stick long-term.
