When your kid wants to get into business a lemonade stand is a perfect starting point. But we’ve all seen these stories of people calling the cops on kid businesses.
Here’s how you can protect your child legally. According to North Carolina law firm, Lindley Law Office, if the stand is on your property and makes less than 400 dollars you should be fine.
But there might not be a whole lot of traffic at your home. If your child just wants some extra money, you’ll need a peddler’s license depending on your city or town. And if you’re raising money for a specific charitable goal you’ll need a license to solicit charitable donations.
If you think the law shouldn’t even target kids’ lemonade stand, the law firm encourages you to get active in your local government. A special provision can be made for kids.
