I searched the BBB database for the company and came up with this page:
http://www.thebbb.org/commonreport.html?bid=50002761

It started in 1972 and was incorporated in January 1986. It's
president is Mr. George Ropchan. It is NOT a member of the BBB.  You
can contact them at 541-485-4741. They do look like a legit business,
but BBB says to beware of these work-at-home schemes.

I checked another web site and it says the start-up fee is $200.

Here are my comments on home-based businesses in general, from another
inquiry about the same kind of thing:
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=461991

With any such offer, 95% of the above details usually apply.  The
offer sounds apealing, but if you keep looking at similar things you
will quickly notice some common and unsettling characteristics.

This link may also be of interest.

Would you go to such a site to apply for a credit card if your credit was good?

I looked briefly at this one, and I should add one more thing.  This
offer is more openly listed as a "dealer" program than a "job," in
which case you should ask yourself why you should pay them any money
at all.

In some cases people end up paying hundreds of dollars for generic
information you could find for free on the internet, and the only
relationship they have to the payee is having paid them money and also
gotten some service of minimal value.

Too many exclamation points, I second that.

Only sleeseballs use that many exclamation points on their site, thus
I have to beleive that its a scam.
