Dream, Team, Plan, Act, Enjoy . . .
Self-employment is an alternative to having a job and working for
someone else. Also known as micro-enterprise, it all starts with
your dream. What is it that interests you, that you enjoy doing,
an activity that brings joy to your life? Add a little open-minded
thinking, creativity, innovation, hard work, a team of supporters,
a business plan, and you earn money.
We will start from ground level and develop a business plan with
you, assemble a support team, and look for the necessary resources.
The support team will include you, family and care providers, friends,
staff, and other resource persons in the community such as legal,
accounting and finance, and other small business owners.
Your entitlements, SSI, SSDI, are effected differently by self-employment
than if you have a job. SSDI has a more complicated set of policies
and restrictions. There is no single solution - each person and
business is unique. Disability benefits interact differently with
self-employment planning and ongoing business activity and must
be understood in order to apply them in your best interests.
We are actively seeking community resources and persons
to help the teams with their business plans and other requirements
to maintain a business. Please contact us with your questions and
interest at volunteer@stepcentral.org.
