What Type of Business Could YOU Operate?

Lots of kids just like you are making real money with their own businesses! You will see their ideas and read their success stories during this two period assignment. Could YOU own a business too?

Your assignment is to provide an answer this question in the next two periods of Business Education. You will have ample time to search the internet for ideas and opportunities. You will need to have a really good idea of what you could do for a business in order to move to the next assignments in this course. You don’t have to actually run the business that you propose, but you will spend some time thinking about the steps that would be needed, so make sure you are interested in what you are researching.

Check with Mr. L when you have some ideas.
