BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Pre-teen entrepreneurs, inflated vets bills and cut-throat competition between barbers

Pre-teen entrepreneurs, inflated vets bills and cut-throat competition between barbers.

Pre-teen entrepreneurs give adults a run for their money, a shake-up in pet insurance, and cut-throat competition between barbers. Consumer news with Julian Worricker.

If you've ever wanted to start a new business you might need to get a move on because your rivals are getting younger all the time. Entrepreneurs aged 18, 11 and eight talk about how to get young people interested in business.

The deadline has just passed for tens of thousands of pet owners to decide what to do about renewing lifetime pet insurance policies. And is there any truth in claims that bills for the treatment of pets are being inflated?

Competition amongst barbers is becoming more cut throat. With the price of a short back and sides dropping in some places - do we need regulation to protect established salons? Or is it a case of more competition the better? Would you switch barbers or have you been getting a trim in the same seat for years?
