Bizpreneur
Bizpreneur is the Kids in Business learning programme designed to introduce young people to entrepreneurship and real-world money skills through practical, guided learning. The programme provides students with structured workbooks, activities, and challenges that help them explore how businesses work — from creating ideas and understanding customers to pricing products and managing simple costs.
Designed for young people aged 7–17, Bizpreneur helps build confidence, creativity, and an entrepreneurial mindset while developing important life skills such as problem-solving, communication, and financial literacy. Whether children are preparing for a Kids Market or simply exploring their ideas, the programme encourages them to think independently, take initiative, and turn their ideas into action.

This program is designed to help children learn real business skills step by step. As children work through each workbook at their own pace at home,
they’ll earn achievement certificates or badges that show what you’ve learned and how far you’ve come.
Each workbook builds on the one before it. By the end, your child won’t just learn about business — they’ll build their own.
How the Certificate/Badge System Works
Each workbook = one achievement foundation
Each certificate/badge = a skill you’ve learned
You earn certificates or badges by completing activities, not by being perfect
Every certificate or badge shows effort, learning, and growth
There’s no rush — everyone moves at their own pace.
What is the Bizpreneurs Programme?
The Bizpreneurs Program is a fun, hands-on initiative designed by Kids In Business to help children:
-
Discover business ideas they’re passionate about
-
Develop entrepreneurial skills (idea generation, budgeting, marketing, sales)
-
Launch their own mini-business or product
-
Celebrate their progress with badges, events and peer recognition
With one annual membership, your child becomes a Bizpreneur and is part of a supportive network of young innovators across New Zealand.
