My aunt has a farmette and I would like to put small shops on it. I would like to grow fruits and vegetables on the farm. I would also like to have a bakery and candle/soap shop there. I wouldn't be taking care of every shop myself though because my sister and cousins want to help me with this. The farmette isn't too far from town and we think that people would like the atmosphere. My aunt has a lot of the supplies needed to run the farm and an area where the shops could be with parking. I would have to get license to prepare and sell food. I talk about doing this with my cousins when we get out of school. I want to make the candles and soaps, my sister wants to bake and my cousin wants to do the farming. Even though this will be a physical store, we could sell some of the products online.

My buisness would consist of art pieces. They would all be random every time a new piece dropped. It could be 3D type art or maybe a type of painting, shoes, Shadow Box art, or maybe even a game. No drops would be the exact same but there could be different variants. All would vary in Sizes aswell - Landon Crooks

If I were to own a small business it would be a sticker decal. I would design a variation of sticker decals for cars, computers, windows and other items consumers may use. I would design high quality decals that are tailored to what a consumer wants. I will have options of designs and also have an option for a customers individual design. I would market my designs online such as Etsy and have different categories for the consumers to choose such as funny stickers, tv shows, sayings, music and bands, likes and activities. I would also like to take my designs to different events that would draw in people so they become familiar with my store and eventually branch out to make bigger decals for companies.

If I could have my own small business it would be a coffee shop where people can come and have little bible studies! I'm a very spiritual person and have grown a lot in Christianity over the past year. I think having a safe, nonjudgmental place where lovers of Jesus can come together and share His light, would be so beneficial. I would love for the interior to be very calming and have different sections. Tables to drink coffee at, places on the floor to sit, little quiet areas for praying and bible reading, and much more! I think it would be so so fun and relaxing for us fellow Christians to all come together as a community and talk together about our lives through Christ! :)

My small business would be to help kids that want to be better gamers. They would come to me for tips, shortcuts, help to get past a certain level if they are stuck on it. I have been playing console games since I was about 4 years old. So if I could help someone to do better or be better I would think that would be great. I love to game and I am willing to help others in anyway I can, even if they would just someone to talk to while they are playing, or just need someone to play with. I would not have a certain price for this I would just go by what they could pay me, I would not care it was five dollars or five hundred, I am doing something I love and that is why I would do it

My small business idea would be about past music, games, etc.
I would sell (and buy) N64, NES, SNES, GameBoy, and all the other old consoles along with the games like The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, Pokemon (red, yellow, emerald, etc.), 007, etc.
I would also sell records and record players, cassettes and walkmans (or cassette players whichever you like to call them), and any other forms of music and the device to play it. Along with many other things from the past.
I got the idea from a store called Cartridges Galore that buys and sells games and consoles from the NES to Xbox series X and S (as far as I seen the NES is the oldest console and games they have).

My small business idea would be all about music! I would have a shop full of vinyls, cassettes, CDs, electric guitars, amps, drum sets, acoustics, etc. It would also come with the equipment to play these things and accessories, which can also be customized! These accessories and equipment would include: guitar straps, amps, amp chords, drum sticks, record players, portable CD and cassette players (walkman), etc.

I came up with this when I saw pictures of vinyls with images on them. I saw there was a customizable option too! I thought this was amazing and that's how I came up with this idea.

When you walk into the small shop, everything is blank, no songs on any of the tapes, vinyls, CDs; nothing. When I said everything is customized, I meant EVERYTHING. Customers can decide what songs they want to put onto their format of choice, ideally songs 25 years or older as to fit the "classic" title and to avoid copyright infringements. They can choose songs that already exist or they can put their own music onto it. But they can design much more than just what songs go onto these formats. They can customize what these look like as well! Whether they want images printed onto the vinyls or they want a design or they want to paint it themselves or have it painted, EVERYTHING can be customized!

But it doesn't stop there...The instruments are customizable too! The bodies of the guitars and the drums all will be blank or a basic model. All of the models themselves will ideally be older ones from the early 2000's and before; 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's, etc.

I would definitely need crafting supplies to start this business. Obviously. I've been crafting all my life and I already have so much supplies I think getting supplies for that wouldn't be TOO hard. Me and my mom all together have enough craft supplies to start a small business. I would also have to stock up on blank CDs, cassettes and vinyls, some of which I already have acquired. That's what I would start with at least. I think I would start customizing the music pieces first before I move onto the instruments. This way I can get enough money to buy the instruments and so on. I have absolutely NO IDEA how I would make the money to start this business though. I might start it as a private business before I make it legit and do commissions for people I know and maybe a few people online. I would definitely start it off as an online store, if I were to make enough money and the store hit it off really well, then I would start considering and planning to make it a physical shop.

I think people like me who are in love with classic music and instruments would be the majority of my customers. I think people that can't find pieces of music that have that ONE song they're looking for would LOVE this! It's like burning a CD but you can burn vinyls, cassettes, and CDs. I would also love to be able to customize a guitar but have it still be a classic (because of the model). I don't know for sure if people would like this because some people are very strict with what the definition of "classic" is and what its rules are, but I think a lot of people would! The whole concept is to be able to express yourself and your love for vintage, classic music, but also be able to evolve it to match modern music, if that makes sense at all.

But yeah, that's my business idea. :) If I were to actually go through with it though I would definitely do it with my best friend and mom because she's experienced. They're an amazing artist (my best friend) and have their own drawing style and everything so they would be a huge part of the business. My mom is skilled in many more crafting genres.

If i were to open a small business, I feel I would aim for being in a small niche.
If you have a small niche product that is in high demand, with low availability for others to get it, you can control the profit margins of that product. These types of business also allow the owner or operator to get free and easy promotion by participating in the products culture. For example Skateboarding,Fashion, and outdoors are all areas of buisness which allow you to use niches to your advantage as a buisness owner.

I would like to open a nursery to sell succulents. I would start small and mainly sell online at first. I would sell plants that I propagate myself. I would need a garage or greenhouse with grow lights, plants, nursery pots and packaging.
I would apply for a small business or personal loan, it would not have huge start up costs.
I like to grow succulents, a large portion of my room is already filled with plants.
I think I can handle it on my own, at least at first. I will sell mostly online but maybe have the greenhouse open to walk in customers.

If I were to own a small buisness I would want it to be a clothing buisness. A buisness were I would design my own clothes and sell them. Things such as sweatshirts, sweatpants, shirts, shorts, socks, etc.
As well as accessories.
The store would be like a thirfting store, with my clothing designs and accessories.

If I were to own a small business, my customers would be pet owners. Pet owners including horses, dogs, and cats. I would provide the service of Reiki and MFR. I would need to take the proper courses to learn these things and have a vehicle to get to and from the animals. I came up with this idea because this is going to be a part of what I will actually be doing after high school. I will not need help running this business. This will be a physical business but it will not have a storefront. It will be me traveling to the people or in extreme cases the animals would come to me for an amount of time.

I'd like to learn more about pet care and each individual pet's needs. I would walk people's dogs for them or visit their home while they're out of town to go feed and play with their pet. I would like to operate as a non-profit organization so the money would go towards rescues or items that may be needed to help care for the pets. I would ask for people to help volunteer if they wished, since I wouldn't be able to go to each home everyday by myself.

If I was to start a business online i would sell lego instructions of builds i make. My customers would be any age that is into legos and wants to build something new! The supplies that i will need is a computer and some legos and most importantly a lot of time. I'm going to get the money by working a job until i have enough to start the business. I came up with the ie\da because there are several other people making instructions and i thought i could to. I think i would need like 1 person to help. If this gets populer enough i might sell the instructions with the parts to make it so possibly could need a location.

I would love to open my own waffle shop.Why well i would like to make many different waffles so that people will not just say "oh u just bought these from the store".
Nah i would be making many different waffles of every kind.I would sell them kinda cheap and i would have like chocolate milk and white milk for it being breakfast.I would hire teens since they cant get a job any where else.

I would love to open my own cafe that includes half of it a record store as well. I think my customers would range from teens to young adults. To start this business I need to have the right equipment and ingredients for the cafe side and record players and vinyl for the other side, plus the building as well. I could get the money from a savings account or possibly getting a loan. I have just always loved the idea of starting my own cafe and I love vinyl, so I think putting the two together could go really well. I do think I would need help considering I need baristas for the cafe side and a few workers for the vinyl side if anyone needs help with purchases. I would love to have a physical store location but maybe proceed on having an online store for the records. - Kilenya hale

I would like to open up a garage after school. my customers would be everyone because everyone needs help with their car at some point. to start my business i will need a small building, 1 or 2 bays, i will also need a lift, a company to get parts and tools from, and a computer. to get the money to start my business i will continue to work at the garage i do now. i came up with this idea because i have never worked for a small business owner in the mechanic field that doesn't have plenty of money to enjoy life. i think i will be the only employee of my business but hiring teens and training them could be a possibility. this will not be an online business i will have a garage.

I would provide daycare services to working parents. I would just need a place to do it and toys, and depending on ages, whatever they would need just in case like formula, diapers, and if they are older maybe things to help teach them their abc and 123 and colors. I would either work and save money up or get a loan I think it is called from a bank? I came up with this idea because I love kids and helping people. I might not need others right at first, but eventually I might need more depending on how many I have. And it will be a physical building, not a store since I'm selling a service and not a product.

My customer would be someone who appreciates art of any kind and would love to have something nice for their home or office or wherever they are. I am not sure on supplies yet but at minimum I would need paint brushes, paper, pencils (regular, drawing, coloring), paints, just different things. I would have to think on what all I would need. Getting the money, well I could start off by getting a job and saving up what I need, which wouldn't take long because artwork that people want to buy does not really have to be expensive. I came up with the idea because I like making things with my hands. I like doing things alone, but I think I would be OK if someone wanted to join with me and do it together, or maybe expand on the business with other people maybe. I think I would do an online business just because I can reach more people, and plus it would be a lot cheaper probably, just because I would not need a building and all the money that you would need to spend in a physical store. Websites and that might cost money but I feel like in the long run it might actually be better this way. -Sam Weiss

I would like to start a mechanic shop/garage after I finish schooling for it. Customers will always need car repairs in some shape or form. Transportation is and always will be a huge need. I plan to offer collision repair, inspections, body repair/painting, mechanical repairs, etc. I would need to have all of the tools needed to complete all of these jobs, diagnostic equipment, certain car parts, inspection stickers, etc. I plan to work through school and save money while living at home. I came up with this idea because it is something I actually plan on doing. Not a lot of shops offer all in one services. I will need someone to answer phones, schedule appointments, and will also need other mechanics to help me perform tasks for customers so the work on their vehicles is completed in a timely manner. I will have a physical location unless virtual reality mechanics becomes a thing in the future.

I would bring in self care products and learn more about what people want so that way I can easily sale these things. It would be a store everybody would most likely at least would like to come see. I would then make a website and have people list some things they would like to see in the store and buy. I would not make things to pricey and I would have deals on certain stuff. I would include chap sticks, shampoo, body wash, lotion, face wash, and face masks and all stuff like that in my shop.

I would like to open up my own coffee shop. It would have cats roaming around, and customers could pet them at any time. I've worked at Dunkin' so I have experience being a barista. Poets can come on Wednesday for entertainment. After these poet events, all the money raised will go to charity. On Mondays, I will do "Adopt & Rescue", any customer will have the chance to come in and adopt a cat that doesn't have a home.

I have everything at home that I would need for this business.  I would not need much money since i already have everything.  I came up with this idea by watching my Gram, she is always baking or making things for people and I have seen a lot of businesses online where they take orders and then make them and send them out.  I can do my business on my own, maybe with a little help from my Gram or mom at first.  It will be an online business.

For this small business, I would make art and create them into either key chains, stickers, magnets, printable art to hang, or more. I believe the customers would most likely be those who like art or shows the art would be about so they have some fanmade merch to own at an affordable price. To be able to start the business, I would need a tablet to make the art, a computer to make the site and run everything, plus businesses that can make the art into the products. This would cost a lot of money, meaning I could save up from my current job while doing commissions on the side. Commissions are where people request you to make this type of art (of course following your rules) and they pay you in return. I would need to put together the required amount and probably shoot higher than that so I have money leftover just in case something would go wrong. I am one to forget or mess up a lot, so help from a friend would work, that way we can both catch a mistake the other one never saw. Plus working beside a friend sounds like fun. I would definitely do this online, with limitations on where to ship, because the internet reaches more people, and especially today there are loads of ways to create an online business.

Free spirit clothing and antique store with other items

# data[].attributes.body
I would love to open up a "Free spirit" clothing and antique store with items ranging from homemade candles, incense, home décor, crystals and so much more. I believe my customers would be younger or even older, and ones who are more spiritual people. The supplies I would need is for a start, a store to open up, anyone can donate the items that they have created, some that bring in candles they've made or décor will be given the money from the item sold. I would work and save and invest, by taking a loan out and putting a down payment down. I came up with this idea because ever since I was little I have loved the "Hippie" culture, I believe it's extremely beautiful and different, the different beliefs, styles, mindsets have always fascinated me. Over the years the style has come back more and more, many collect crystals, love the boho/free-spirit look. I would love help, giving others the job opportunity, as well as benefits that come with the jobs from insurance to discounts. With this business, I would have it online as well as a physical location, that way if people are interested but live out of state or are too far, they can browse and shop my store online. For the physical location, customers can come in and see exactly what we are all about.

The 70s-80s were quite the fun time. I want to own a business where every article of clothing or object is authentic and from this point in time. You want to know where James Hetfield's friend bought his nice, horrifically ripped up death metal band t-shirt? Well, originally it was from some basic store, and ripped by hand. Do you want to rip it up yourself? Great! We have the exact same style shirt right here. Did your favorite hippie film have a specific tapestry you liked? The exact same one is right here, for only $15.

I would design and make 100% pure and natural clothes that are different and unique from what is usually sold in most clothing stores. I notice that almost all of the clothes that I see in stores are just different versions of each other. Also, when companies see that a certain style is popular, they all want to make the same style.
I would design my clothes differently by making them with pure natural and organic materials like cotton, linen, wool, hide, and other pure, unmixed materials.
I would also design my clothes to include the functional things that a lot of clothes don't have, like deep pockets, compartments, belt loops where needed, etc. I would expand my line to include shoes, slippers, socks, T-shirts, pants, jeans, underclothes, over-shirts, and accessories (like hair clips, scarves, belts, etc.). All of these clothes would be reasonably priced so that they can be available to everyone. This would be both an online store and brick and mortar stores.  --SF
