Minor Chores is an entrepreneurial app that empowers young entrepreneurs to start and manage profitable neighborhood businesses while giving parents transparency and safety controls to assist their children in their business endeavors. It allows kids and teens (as well as adults) to offer various chore-based services while keeping 100% of the profits.

Minor Chores is designed for young entrepreneurs looking to earn money by offering chore services in their local communities. Adults can also use the platform to earn money or hire local entrepreneurs.

*Parents are required to set up all accounts for kids under the age of 18.

Users must be 18 years or older to create an account on Minor Chores. Parents or legal guardians can create a child account during onboarding or by adding a child account from the side-menu bar in the app.

Currently, customers can pay service providers using various methods such as cash, check, Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay, etc. In-app payment options may be added as Minor Chores grows and enhances its features.

Currently, Minor Chores doesn’t process any payments between Chore-preneurs and Customers. As an entrepreneurial tool, we allow parents to help their kids get started, oversee all communications, and ensure they trust customers will pay their children for services when provided. If you do not receive payment for a service, you can report the issue to Minor Chores by emailing Support@minorchores.com.

You can sign up for Minor Chores by downloading our app from the App Store or Google Play. Once downloaded, simply follow the on-boarding process.

Safety is a top priority at Minor Chores. Our platform adds a safety layer for parents who have or want their kids to start neighborhood businesses.  We provide parental controls to help families better manage all interactions and transactions on the platform while fostering success. Additionally, our in-app resources provide guidelines and tips on best practices for Chore-preneurs to stay safe.

Safety is a top priority at Minor Chores. While background checks are not currently implemented, the platform provides Parental Controls for parents to monitor, manage, and restrict their children's activities, work radius, and interactions within the app. Minor Chores is actively seeking feedback from its user base and working with several companies to plan the implementation of background checks.

Some common services include pet care, yard work, tutoring, coaching, childcare, errands, farm care, handyman work, cleaning, home repairs, housekeeping, garage sales, decorations, and more! Additionally, it allows chore providers and customers to type in their own unique chore service/need.

Absolutely! Minor Chores offers the flexibility to choose when and where you work.

The responsibility for providing tools or equipment depends on the specific chore and the parties' agreement. Minor Chores is a platform connecting service providers and customers but not providing services or equipment. If needed, we have an Amazon Storefront on the resources tab in-app where we suggest tools and equipment that chore-preneurs can purchase.

Minor Chores operates as an LLC and functions solely as a platform. Chore-preneurs or their parents pay to use the app and retain 100% of their earnings from Chore Customers. Minor Chores is not an employer or contracting agency and does not benefit from Chore-preneur’s earnings. The Terms of Service state that Minor Chores does not provide insurance for Chore-preneurs or chore customers. If you have insurance concerns, you should inquire directly with the Chore-preneur or their parent about their insurance policy.

The app provides short video training clips, startup guides, autogenerated marketing flyers with the Chore-preneurs QR code, shareable website links, Minor Chores shops and more within the resource section of Chore-preneur accounts! We also provide an easy invoicing system and wallet to help keep track of outstanding bills and total earnings!

Minor Chores provides guidelines and support for resolving disputes. We encourage direct communication with the parents and client first, but our support team is always ready to help if further assistance is needed. If you have a customer dispute that requires further assistance, you can report the dispute to Minor Chores by emailing Support@minorchores.com.

You have complete control over setting your prices. We recommend starting with competitive rates for your area and adjusting based on local demand and experience level. In the Resource tab, Chore-preneurs can review the Start Up kit which provides market insights and pricing guidelines to help you make informed decisions.

The number of services that a Chore-preneur can offer will depend on the type of subscription they have for their account. You can adjust the services on your rate card as often as you’d like. This flexibility allows you to maximize your earning potential based on your skills, interests, and time of year for each service.  Our start-up kits and in-app push notifications provide recommended services based on seasons to help your Chore-preneur maximize earnings year-round.

Minor Chores is designed to connect you with clients in your local community. However, if you are traveling or temporarily in another area, you can adjust your location settings to match services in that region, subject to the availability of the platform there. If you are a minor under 18, your parent would have to adjust the location settings. Remember, parents should always be involved in the decision-making process for those under 18.

Minor Chores offers comprehensive support ranging from operational guidance to technical assistance. Our dedicated support team is available via email, phone, and live chat to help you with any issues. Minor Chores also has a separate Minor Chores Entrepreneur Academy to support learning and knowledge acquisition in key areas for its users and entrepreneurs.

As independent contractors, users are responsible for their own taxes. Minor Chores tracks total earnings and provides hints and tips about taxes but is not responsible for providing any official documentation at this time.

We plan to offer a referral program that rewards you for bringing new users to the platform. Details about rewards and how to participate will be offered soon to Chore-preneurs, Parents, and Customers.

Maximizing earnings involves providing excellent service, expanding your range of offerings, and effectively managing your schedule. Engaging with the community and receiving positive reviews can also lead to more frequent booking requests. We provide Start Up Kits that help Chore-preneurs understand which jobs often have the highest earning potential.
