What Kind of Business Should a Kid Start?(small business ideas)
Consider the following factors when selecting from the kid business ideas I’m about to present:(small business ideas)
Seasonality: Do you want your youngster to start a seasonal business or one that can earn money all year? Select a business concept that reflects this.
Level of Capability: Are they capable of running this type of firm, or will they require training?
Is the company idea going to require a lot of money upfront in terms of equipment, permits, materials, and so on? Is that something you can handle, or should they go with a less expensive option?
Number and Type of People Required: Can they start this firm on their own, or will they require assistance from a partner? Is it necessary for them to have a parent to run this business because some aspects of it require someone over the age of 18?
Children’s Business Concepts (small business ideas)
Making money through chores, allowances, mowing someone’s lawn, selling something at their school’s market day, and other methods can make a child’s brain spin as they try to think of new ways to generate money.
Check out this list of 16 great kid business ideas to help your child start making more money!
1. A Pet Photography Company (small business ideas)
Pets are adored by their owners. They want photographs of their pets, as well as photographs of themselves interacting with them.
Is everyone, however, willing to pay a high price for professional photography? Not at all.
That’s where your youngster can help: offer to photograph their pets and them playing with their pets for a fraction of the cost of a professional photographer.
2. A Christmas wrapping service that you can drop off. (small business ideas)
From the time she was a tween, my sister has always excelled at present wrapping. She was perfectly capable of completing this task.
Me? Not at all.
Your youngster could pick up and drop off wrapped Christmas gifts depending on whether or not he or she has a driver’s license or transportation.
And what happens if they don’t have a valid driver’s license? Clients can drop off and pick up a day or several hours later, making this a wonderful home-based business idea for youngsters (depending on what you think is best).
Your children might provide a variety of wrapping paper designs for customers to choose from.
3. Worm farming
Starting a worm farm is one of the most interesting home-based business ideas for kids. The worms can be sold to bait stores, organic farmers, and other businesses.
I even came across a 12-year-old girl who had developed her own thriving worm farm.
4. The Mother’s Helper Service at the Amusement Park
During the summer, many mothers strive to take all of their children to amusement parks, splash pads, and water parks (while keeping them all happy and together).
It can be exhausting, believe me when I say that!
Instead of becoming a “Mother’s Helper” at home, devise a business model in which your child joins a mother and her family at a recreational facility and then assists them with anything they require to keep everyone happy. She may be taking one child on a ride while she is taking another child on a ride. Or keeping an eye on the other kids while she takes her child to the potty.
5. Washing of Youth Sports Team Uniforms
Is it possible for your child to offer to wash uniforms for teams at your local laundromat? Without a doubt, not every team will bite. However, some people might.
6. Houses that have been pressure washed
When we were getting ready to sell our house last summer, we actually hired a teen to pressure wash it. He brought his own machine (but you should make sure you’ll still make a reasonable profit if you rent the equipment), and he made around $150!
7. Strawberry Farming
Your child could focus on one item and become an expert at it, such as producing strawberries and selling them to your neighbors. When my mother was a kid, she used to do this, and it’s how her family got their new living room furniture!
Keep in mind that this is a seasonal job, so your child will only be able to earn money from it for a limited amount of time each year (like, 1-3 months, depending on your climate, soil makeup, etc.).
8. Birthday Party Organizer
It’s easy to become overwhelmed when hosting a birthday party where other parents drop off their children.
Your child can provide part-babysitting, part-entertaining (you’ll develop your idea with one of these business templates for kids) services to mothers to assist them to plan their children’s birthday parties.
9. Rock Group
Has your youngster ever considered forming a band? Consider how much more likely it is that they will actually generate money if they treat the band like a company from the start.
In reality, aren’t all the musicians on the radio and at events accepting awards? Instead of focusing simply on their music creation, they have business plans and run themselves as a business.
