We don’t control when a good idea hits us
The entrepreneurial bug doesn’t bite every business owner at the same stage in life. For some, they reached a point when their personal and professional lives were well established and felt like it was finally time to take that leap. For others, their situation might not have been optimal but the longer they waited, the more time they lost, so better now than never. But as business begins to evolve, there are also those of a younger subset, who have a brilliant idea for a business, but may not even be old enough to drive.
Bizinate is an online platform specially designed to help young entrepreneurs start and promote their own business. By following a three-minute account set-up process, Bizinate users provide details about their startup and launch their own webpage; users can either select their featured services or products from a preset drop-down list or supply this information themselves.
Parental controls, bucking convention
Because this is a website aimed at younger entrepreneurs, the site allows parents to closely monitor any activities and put controls in place to ensure their child’s safety while conducting business on the site. Mini-moguls can also promote their business via Facebook and email, and after inputting bank information, can receive payment for products or services directly through the website.
The platform is free and users are able to take something they are truly passionate about and test it then and there. The greatest ideas often spin up in the minds of the young and Bizinate works to harness that unconventionality, and ability to think creatively, in order to create the businesses of tomorrow.
There’s no age minimum mandated in the business world; when you’re hit with an idea, sometimes there’s no time like the present to test it out and see where it takes you, even if you’ve yet to graduate high school. With Bizinate’s goal to start a million new businesses through the platform, young entrepreneurs are encouraged to start brainstorming, set up an account and begin closing deals, one click at a time.
