specialist support for disabled entrepreneurs

In the autumn of 2008 LEONARD CHESHIRE DISABILITY entered into a partnership with the award-winning INNOVATORY to develop new fully accessible business support services across the UK for business owners with disabilities and people with disabilities interested in starting new enterprises or becoming self employed.

Discussions are now underway with five regional development agencies on funding for specialist projects, which will be delivered with local partners. In London a new service to raise finance for disabled entrepreneurs and start ups - ENABLED FOR GROWTH - is expected to go live during the summer.
