Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Program
As a Business Advisor to this program,
I Assist in Helping Potential Start-Up Entrepreneurs:
ASSESS
‘STATE OF READINESS’
A down-to-earth initial assessment helps all parties strength-test the business idea. And the budding entrepreneur. A ‘SWAT’ (Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats) approach provides better context for moving the business idea, and the entrepreneur, forward.
DEVELOP
A BUSINESS PLAN
We work with our clients to develop a business plan that fleshes out the opportunity in more detail. From Idea Napkin to Business Model Canvas to full Business Plan, we assist clients in formulating their concept in greater detail. If it bears scrutiny, they can approach funders with confidence.
FIND
SEED FUNDING
Entrepreneurs with disabilities face an even harder funding path based on their unique circumstances. The Entrepreneurs with Disabilities program links to progressive financing options such as RISE to help move strong business ideas forward. RISE provides micro loans up to $10,000, and also links clients to ongoing sector-related mentoring.
