Launch Your Own Business with the Business Enterprise Program

The Business Enterprise Program, part of Vocational Rehabilitation, helps eligible clients with significant disabilities turn their business dreams into reality. If you qualify for Vocational Rehabilitation services, you may receive financial support to get your start-up off the ground.

Funding comes from vending machine commission payments, paired with a federal match. The Vending Program posts a bi-annual request for proposals for each vending site. Learn more about the program.

Our small business consultant works closely with you to create a practical, actionable business plan and offers ongoing guidance. Your plan must show that your business is realistic and that you can manage every aspect of it.

Along the way, you might be referred to other expert resources:

  • Market Research Center: detailed market insights
