Whatkind of business can a 15 year old own besides a paper route?

You can have your own business for a little as $40.00 a month.
Excerpt from a newsletter article written by Caleb's Mom:

Caleb the 9 year old business man. From the day his Mom received her first order, he has been out selling candles. He's learning quite a bit about economics and business. He doesn't fear approaching people about our candles. He takes his supplies and knocks on people's doors and says "Do you like Fresh Scents?". I guess he uses the phrase "Fresh Scents" instead of scented candles.
He said that the people like it when he says that.
He hired himself an employee to walk around with him and help him out. He has also inspired a few other kids that we know to sell our products also.
One day the three of them went out to sort of compete. It was so cute, they would come busting through the door, money in hand. They would give me the customer's money and then they would get paid right on the spot and back out the door they go. One of his friends is trying to get her mom to sign up for Candle Of The Month so that she (the 9 yr old) can sell candles all the time.
Caleb has been a real encouragement to me. Any fears I have of rejection I need to put aside because I see him so fearlessly go out there and work a business. Besides that, we're running side by side in sales (he might even be ahead at this point). Nothing wrong with some good healthy competition. He's a real go-getter. In fact, the other day he was all ready to go out and make some sales and I had to stop him because it was raining and his supplies would have gotten soaked. Then another time Dad turned around to hand him his dinner and he was gone. I knew, of course,
where he was. A lady had asked him to come back after six and he wanted to keep his word.
I'm really proud of Caleb (can you tell?) and how he's not afraid of what other boys in the neighborhood might
think of him. He knows that we have great products and that everyone loves candles - men, women and children. He knows that it's a huge market and he has found a way to benefit from it, in more ways than just money.
