Supporting the ability of people to improve the quality of their lives through self employment is our goal, since the flexibility of self employment can provide a viable employment option for someone with a disability or work injury, and it be a way for a person on welfare or underemployed to break out of a cycle of minimum wage and temporary jobs. A part time business can supplement retirement income. Promoting the value of self employment means that we are critical evaluators of business plans and funding proposals, since we believe the best way to promote self employment is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Working with clients of vocational rehabilitation and economic development agencies is our specialty.
