Frequently asked questions
The Kidpreneur Pop-Up Market, sponsored by Vaughan Mills is looking to help inspire children to discover their inner entrepreneur. In partnership with STEAM School House and Acton Children Business Fair, the largest entrepreneurship event for kids in North America, this market gives children the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses.
We will accept up to 20-60 businesses, totalling 10 businesses per day.
Start with our resources page. Read inspiring stories about other young entrepreneurs and play games to hone your business skills.
Application must be submitted online. Please submit one application for each business. Children working as a group should submit one application that includes each childβs information. No more than 3 participants per business.
The application asks kids to think through some simple, but important elements of their business:
What product or service do you plan to sell?
What price will you charge for each product/service? How much will each product/service cost you?
How will you pay for your startup costs? If someone is helping you with your startup costs, how will you pay that person back?
How will you advertise/market your business before the fair?
At the end of the fair, how will you determine if your business was a success?
Two cupcake businesses? Not a problem. In general, we will let market forces play out, though we will let later entries know if another applicant has a similar idea so the later entrant can decide what to do.
The fair will be an indoor event with booths at Vaughan Mills. Each business will be given a booth with a 6-foot table and 1-3 chairs. Table cloths will not be provided. We are not able to accommodate businesses requiring electricity.
This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product or service.
Parents of younger children may sit in the booth, but the children should be responsible for set up, customer interaction, and sales.
Parents may help their child fill out the application, but we expect the children to do as much as possible by themselves.
