    Hi,

    Our school is doing a young enterprise thing where you make a business based around selling a product or a service. This can be anything within reason, and the team that makes the most money at the end wins. Last year, they made about £2,000.

    I'm looking for good ideas as to what I can do for this.

    Thanks very much,
    -Hecky.

    It's the best time of year to start a landscaping business - how large are the groups -
    you could do this if some of the parents have lawn mowers -


    There is a lot more to this business than just going out and mowing lawns - sales, billing, bookkeeping, quality control - but, it should be easy enough that kids could do a great job at it -

    If you keep the work easy you can focus on making money.
