Frequently asked questions

What is the Seguin Children’s Business Fair?

The Seguin Children’s Business Fair, an approved host for the Acton's Children's Business Fair organization, inspires children to discover their inner entrepreneur. The largest entrepreneurship event for kids in North America, this one-day market gives children the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses.

How many businesses will you accept?

We will accept up to 36 businesses.

Where should I begin? 

Start with our resources page. Read inspiring stories about other young entrepreneurs and play games to hone your business skills.

How do I apply? Can I apply as part of a group?

Application must be submitted online. Please submit one application for each business. No more than 2 participants per business. Additional applications are not a problem! We can group friends and family together for camaraderie.

What is on the application?

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? 

What if someone else has the same business idea?  

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. Depending upon how soon duplicate applicants sign up, we will do our best to spread them out in the booth layout.

How will the fair be set up?

The fair is generally an outdoor event with your own table and chairs. No more than two chairs per table, please. Table cloths will not be provided. We are not able to accommodate businesses requiring electricity.

Will electricity be available?

No. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide electricity to the booths.

What are the rules? 

This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product or service. Our judges will be assessing your kid's sales pitch as well as the product display. If a parent is found selling or promoting a child’s product or service, their kid’s business will be disqualified from the competition.

Parents of younger children may sit in the booth, but the children are 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.

How did the Acton Children’s Business Fair get started?

Jeff and Laura Sandefer and a few other families wanted to spark a sense of wonder and entrepreneurship in their children so they created the first Acton Children’s Business Fair in Austin, Texas, in 2007. That year, there were *seven* entrepreneurs and around 25 attendees. Now, there are over 115 entrepreneurs and 1,500 attendees at the Acton Children's Business Fair in Austin.
