Registered Student Businesses
Babson College encourages all students to experience entrepreneurship by starting a business venture during their time at Babson. These student-run businesses are considered a co-curricular activity (excluding FME), but receive much support from the college through the Babson Chamber of Commerce.
The college requires that all student businesses get licensed before they can officially operate on campus, but this process is quick and easy. You can do it right on their website at http://chamber.babson.edu. This is a two-step process, as your application must be approved by the Chamber and the Office of Campus Life.
