Investing in Kid-owned Small Businesses. Five $2,000 Small Business Grants Available From Merchant Maverick.

ORANGE, CALIFORNIA, USA, April 8, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Merchant Maverick, a leading resource in the B2B space, is thrilled to announce its Opportunity Grants for Kid Entrepreneurs. Five young business owners aged 10 to 18 will receive a $2,000 grant to grow their businesses.

Kids may not have long credit histories or tons of capital, but they have great ideas and the energy, vision, and creativity to make a business work.

We are looking for youth who have made a cool product, offer a unique service, or sell their own inventions. We are looking for problem solvers and creative thinkers – kids who are excited about the future of small business. We are excited to take their dreams to the next level.
