Wow, I think COLLEGE is the only way.
If you are brilliant, with financial backing you might (I give it 1%) make it OK.
Of course you can't start until you are 18, you can't sign a contract to buy or sell. You can't even apply for a business license in the first place as a child.

Several issues come to mind. It will be harder to secure a business loan without a diploma or degree. It will be much harder on you, should the business you try to start not make it. However, all of that said, many of the most successful people in the world never completed high school. The risks are much greater if you drop out. If things don't go well with the business, it will be much harder to get another career going.

how are you going to know how to do anything? Will your parents support you and accept you dropping out of school? what happens if they kick you out - no education, no chance of getting a decent job if your dream fails because you have no education. No one is going to finance a business run by a high school dropout - where will your money come from. You probably aren't 18 yet so you can't sign contracts, or sign a lease to put your business or get credit .
Why can't you start your business part-time while in school? There are no guarantees yours will succeed - most businesses don't. only about 1 in 5 businesses is still IN business after 5 yrs

With the information that I have learned since high school. I would say that in a lot of ways you are better off without further education in the traditional education system.
I am a huge proponent of LEARNING, school in most cases doesn't teach you to learn, it teaches you to repeat what is taught to you.
There are aspects of business that you ABSOLUTELY will have learn, whether it is from a school or from working with someone that already has a business.
What kind of business are you looking to get into? What is the initial cost start up, what is the Cash on Cash return in fiscal year 1? What is your exit strategy?
What is your dream?

It's hard to start a busines with an education. There are many things after you graduate that you still don't know. Without the basic education you're chances of being sucessfull are pretty slim.

High school teaches you basic things you need, so I would say you definitely need to finish high school (or at least get your GED or equivalent).
