Q & A Fact Sheet
Self-Employment Q and A: Braiding and Blending Funding for Business Start-Up
Most individuals who want to start a business will need financial assistance. Some people may rely on personal savings, loans from family members, loans from financial institutions, or micro-enterprise loans. In some instances, bank loans have very high interest rates or require collateral, and individuals with disabilities may not qualify. Therefore, they may need to "blend or braid funding" from an array of resources, including those that are specifically available to individuals with disabilities. These resources include but are not limited to case management assistance, employment support services, and funding specifically for individuals with disabilities in achieving employment outcomes. The agencies that provide these supports operate under different federal, state and local laws, regulations, policies and service arrangements.
