Company offers to open shop on your behalf

My friend wants to get into this company and give them over 45k for them to start a shop in his name and they will exclusively run it. He will bring the money and they the expertise.

They sent two videos of two men saying that they earn around 1k-4k a month. They say that you can get involved as much as you want to on what the shop sells, but you can also not do anything. They say that the items they buy they hopefully sell triple the price.

Personally I think it’s a bad idea, but I came to ask you (experienced people) about what you think about this?
