Hi Guys

I'm in receipt of DA and its possible I might not be able to return to employed work, as my physical condition isn't improving.

I'm trying to start my own business, as this seems the only avenue open to me. Has anyone any information on business start-up grants specifically for the disabled? I've asked a variety of official information sources and so far I'm coming up empty. My business won't make any money until year two at least, so I'm investigating what grants might be available from government sources or local NGOs.

Hugely appreciate any help with this.

Don't know of anything specifically for people with disabilities - Do check out the 'seed capital' scheme that allows you to get a refund of some tax paid in recent years.
