Empowering people with barriers to self employment. Whatever your dreams, we can help you achieve them.

Breaking Down Barriers. Building Better Businesses.

Welcome to Business Beyond Barriers – where lived experience is a strength, not a setback.

We know that running a business isn’t always straightforward – especially if you’re managing a disability, long-term health condition, or mental health challenge. But we also know this: with the right support, you can thrive.

Whether you’re just starting out, growing steadily, or simply exploring the idea of self-employment, we’re here to help – with coaching, peer support, and practical advice designed to meet you where you are.

This isn’t one-size-fits-all. We support you to shape a business that works for your needs, your pace, and your goals – with your wellbeing at the heart of it.

From funding and strategy to burnout and confidence, we understand the unique pressures disabled entrepreneurs face. That’s why we offer more than just business guidance – we build spaces for connection, self-belief, and community.

At Business Beyond Barriers, we’re not here to fit you into a system that wasn’t built for you. We’re here to help you build something better.

Because barriers shouldn’t stop brilliance.

Start your journey with:

  • One-to-one coaching and peer mentoring

  • Practical support on self-employment, funding, and confidence

  • Workshops that prioritise mental health and resilience

  • A community of changemakers with lived experience
