Hi All.

Quick Poll... As this is the YOUNG entrepenuer site. What age do you consider to be young in business, primarily in the web design/developing. I am 24, I presume I would be one of the older members?

Just trying to bump my post count up!

Regards, Dan

I am way older than that its only a name is it not.

Yeah maybe so, I'd seen a several posts from people younger than me and maybe jumped to this conclusion too hastily

I would say that in business, twenties is young as most people are that age when they start out. Although I'm sure that on this site there are a wide range of ages.

**Anthony Tori** · 06-27-2010 03:00 PM

I would say under 30.

For starting a business? Is it legal to have one before 18?

**timjahn** · 07-13-2010 12:45 AM

I would think someone in their early 20s (such as myself) is definitely considered young in business. Younger than early 20s would be REALLY young!

I agree with the others, I"m nearly 24 as well. The literate high schoolers on here are really impressive! But I think early twenties dominate numbers. I don't see it as illegal to have a business before you're 18, as long as it's not breaking child labor laws!

I'm 16 and a half, just joined this site though. I have a really good business idea (website.. can't specify till I have the website running... too much potential to spill out)

Young doesn't mean age. It refers to young brains too. If your brain is young, sharp, intelligent then age is not at a problem. So, try to keep the brain young than body. Most people refers to body when we talk about age. But, I have seen some people they become young when they get old.

Well I'm 19 and involved in web and corporate design.

Been doing web design since around 16 years old. With regard to web development, though, it does take time to get some experience in the industry. (My first few sites, looking back, were horrific!) I always support the young guys like me, I love to see similar aspiration and enthusiasm to what I think I've shown over the past few years! Anything below 15/16 though, and I'd be bit skeptical.

i believ eyou can start a business at any age. as long as you are over the legal limit

**genevie** · 07-16-2010 04:05 AM

Well, age doesn't matter. As long as you were capable and ready to face the business world compete to your business level even what ages are they. The moment you face them you must don't forget to give respect to your co-businessmen.

There is no specific age Dan to become an entrepreneur. It's the idea and act.
