Business Idea Generator

Turn Interests into Business Ideas

Your best ideas often begin with what you already love. Hobbies, interests, and daily experiences can be the starting point for unique and exciting businesses. Think about:

• What you enjoy doing in your free time
• What friends ask you for help with
• What you care about in the world

These answers can lead to ideas like baking pet treats, creating art products, or offering tutoring to younger students. Let your passions lead the way.

Use Prompts to Spark New Thinking

If you’re stuck, try using prompts from places like Kidpreneurs.org or other idea tools:

• A product that solves a small daily problem
• A service that helps families or classmates
• An activity that brings fun or calm
• A way to support the planet or teach something new

Mix prompts together—like a recycled craft that’s also a game—or challenge yourself to list 10 ideas in 10 minutes.

Focus on Who You Want to Help

Great businesses help people. Ask:

• Who do I want to help?
• What do they need more of?
• How could I meet that need?

If you can make life easier, more fun, or more meaningful for someone, your idea is already valuable.

Mix, Match, and Customize

Don’t feel limited to one idea. You can combine hobbies, twist an old concept, or personalize something to make it new:

• Add a theme or story
• Use eco-friendly materials
• Offer customization or bundles

Try sketches, storyboards, or short descriptions. The Business by Kids AI Assistant can help you compare or improve your ideas.

Keep a Notebook of Ideas

Good ideas come when you’re not expecting them—while walking, dreaming, or chatting. Keep a notebook or digital note with:

• Cool names or slogans
• Sketches and drawings
• Needs you notice around you
• Things you wish existed

Review it often to find patterns or connections that lead to your next big thing.
