Micro Business Idea: Snow Cone Truck

You are here: Home / Micro Business Ideas / Micro Business Idea: Snow Cone Truck
© by Sean Loyless

Looking for a job one summer, Iowa teen Austin Moss stumbled across a snow cone business online. At the age of seventeen, Austin borrowed money from his grandparents to buy a truck, took a few financial classes, and presented his ASM Shaved Ice before his city to obtain a permit. After acceptance, he now runs a successful shaved ice business during the summer! As a mobile business, Austin not only sells shaved ice at his current location, but also has worked for companies and private parties. With hopes of earning a business degree one day, Austin is well on his way to entrepreneurship through his micro business!

You can make your idea just as successful as Austin’s! Read my book series, Micro Business for Teens, to get started.

From a parent

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.

I can hardly believe we are at this point in our life-and here he is a young man ready to try his fortune with the world.
