What we do
The Children's Business Fair UK (CBFUK) promotes the vital importance of the entrepreneurial mindset in the next generation.
We host one-day marketplaces where young entrepreneurs (aged 7-17) launch their own business, sell in a real-world environment, and make their own money.
Our online learning program, the Build-a-Business Program is designed to introduce entrepreneurship to schools and individual entrepreneurs. We work with primary and secondary schools delivering our fully-developed modular entrepreneurial curriculum that runs over single lessons, full days, or term-long programs.
Our mission
Raising the next generation of gritty problem-solvers who learn by doing in authentic, real-world settings.
Our beliefs
...the entrepreneurial mindset and associated skills are fundamental to the next generation's future success.
...effective learning occurs best in an authentic, real-world setting Real money, real customers, real pressures, real triumphs.
...kickstarting the entrepreneurial journey as early as possible embeds good habits, great confidence and positive attitudes from the start.
...adults need to step back. Learning happens 10x quicker when children are allowed to make mistakes and truly own the process.
