Your Business Plan

What kind of business will you start?

Children selling lemonade in front of their home.

If you could start your own business, what would it be? What would you sell?

For this activity, you will choose a business to start. For example, you might decide to start a lemonade stand, make and sell slime, make and sell friendship bracelets, etc. You could also start a business that provides a service for someone. For example, you might rake leaves, wash cars, or shovel snow. Your business should be something you can do.

Write what you will be selling and the cost.
Identify any risks that may be involved in your business and the steps you need to take to protect your business.
