Want to raise kids that are poised for business success? According to a survey of 118 successful adult entrepreneurs, getting business experience while still a kid was one of most common paths to business success later in life. With this in mind, anything you can do to encourage your kid to start a lemonade stand, offer services door to door, or sell something will help build business confidence.

If you have a budding young entrepreneur in your home, here are some business name ideas you can use for your kids’ startup business. Stick around until the end of the article and I’ll share my favorite examples of kid-run businesses.

What Are Some Examples of Businesses That Kids Can Start?

Do you want your children to begin earning money right away, yet you don’t know where to start? Here are some fantastic startup ideas for kids, tasks that your kids (or not-so-little ones) can operate.

Lemonade Stand. Selling lemonade is the most tried and true little business of all time. A lemonade business sounds awesome with the hot temperatures and summer vacations approaching. A lemonade stand teaches your children the importance of proper pricing, goods, promotion, and location in a business.

Blogging. I’m planning to steer my girls in this direction. Many adults and children benefit from blogging as a source of income. Your teenager can also get a lot done by starting and monetizing a blog. Allow them to first choose a subject that they are interested in. Crafting, gardening, toy reviews, recipes, and self-confidence are just a few example topics you could cover. I would also lump other forms of media like vlogging or podcasting in this category.

The cool thing about learning to create a vlog or blog is that you build up a long list of marketable skills in the process. You’ll learn about photography, video editing, writing, marketing basis, and gain confidence communicating online. Even if your first YouTube Channel isn’t commercially successful, your kid can use the skills they learned to get a side-hustle for someone else.

I look back at my own childhood and started making little websites back in the late 90s when the internet became available in my area. I think my first website was on the subject of professional wrestling of all things. While that website didn’t earn me a dime, I learned some basic HTML and publishing skills that allowed to land my first job after college.

Cotton candy is popular with kids.

Baking. Do you have a child who loves kneading dough and turning it into delicious baked goods? If yes, persuade her to launch a baking business where she can profitably sell all of her baked goodies. You can bake cookies and start selling these door-to-door or at a stand outside your home or church. 

Tutoring. It’s no secret that children struggle with certain topics in school. I for one always had a problem with math.

If your child is gifted in one of these subjects, they could offer a tutoring service to struggling kids. And all they require is some tutoring to improve their grades. They can offer to tutor other students for a charge while posing as a study buddy.

Not only is this a creative way to make a few bucks, but your child will make more friends and understand the subject even better.

Face Painting. Face painting is a joyful activity that enables children to suit up and go to parties or special occasions without the need for costumes. You’ll be expected to re-create the child’s favorite animal or character on his or her face as a face painter.

Sell Something. One of my favorite podcast episodes of all-time is with Mik Bushinski, who founded Mik Mart Ice Cream. Mik got his start selling candy in school to kids to turn a profit.

Later as a sophmore in high school, Mik was given a loan by his uncle to purchase a van that was converted into a rolling novelty ice cream truck. Mik expanded this business through college into multiple trucks and a retail location. It just goes to show you that you don’t know where you could end up when starting a business as a kid.

Ways to Encourage Entrepreneurship in Kids

Bond with your kids by cooking with them.

Every adult was a kid at some point. We all get older, but a few of us remain a kid at heart. There are adult toy collectors who acquire these items beyond their age of toy play. Some kids collect toys and playing as part of their entrance into the entrepreneurial field.

Innovative children are curious, clever, imaginative, and eager to take on challenges. From lemon stands to application development to dog-walking services, these budding entrepreneurs can open their eyes to the many options of entrepreneurship.

Starting a business, as most entrepreneurs are aware, is a major undertaking. It entails a variety of difficult decisions and a thorough awareness of all the moving pieces. A young kid who is trained to be innovative is likely to succeed in any field they choose. While starting a business isn’t rocket science, there are a lot of moving parts that take time to understand.

This hasn’t been mentioned yet, but one of the biggest benefits of letting your kid start a business is what happens between the ears. Kids gain confidence by solving all sorts of problems in a business. Unlike in school where you’ve got to memorize the right answer, there’s no one right answer when running a business. You often need to get creative in problem solving with you own a business.

Here are a couple stories of entrepreneurial kids that I found inspiring. One example is Nay Games founder, Robert Nay, a 14-year-old with no prior experience in the business world who developed the game “Bubble Ball” back in 2010. This kids game had more than 9 million downloads. 

Lily Born, the founder of “The Kangaroo Cups” was 8 when she realized that her grandfather, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease was frequently spilling his drinks as a result of his illness. She designed a plastic cup for her grandfather out of moldable plastic that didn’t tip and was comfortable to grip. She constructed a ceramic version of the same cup for her father a year later so he wouldn’t have to deal with coffee spills on his computer. This is a powerful example of the benefits of child entrepreneurship.
