What does Biz in a Boxx do?

Biz in a Boxx provides kids, ages 7 and up, with the practical fundamentals of entrepreneurship. Each kit is age-appropriate and provides information on topics from coming up with an idea to hiring staff, pricing, target markets, marketing and advertising. Within each topic are a series of simple questions that allow kids to create a functional business plan while they formulate their business. It’s easy to do and not weighed down with theories or suggestion that can’t be implemented. There is a free online forum to get additional help. The kids can also create their personal business cards that come with each kit for free on the website.

How are they different?

There has never been a product accessible to all kids that easily guides them through starting and running their own business. The few youth entrepreneurship programs out there provide traditional and guided instruction that control creativity and ownership which are the most valued benefits to teaching youth entrepreneurship.

With Biz in a Boxx, kids can come up with their own ideas based on their interests and passions and create a business around it easily and all by themselves. Best of all, it’s experiential meaning it’s designed for kids to run their business and make money in the real world.

Why could Biz in a Boxx be BIG?

There are over 50 million kids between the ages of 5 and 18 in the US alone and approximately 80 percent receive no entrepreneurial training before graduating from high school. In order to strengthen our economy and create jobs, it’s imperative to start preparing today’s youth to lead tomorrow’s free enterprise system.

How they plan to make money:

Selling the Biz in a Boxx kits, which are extremely affordable.
