Will I be able to get money to start a business? With a disability?

Question

I know this query sounds like so many others on Yahoo Answers so I will try to be v. clear about my situation:

I live in FL and am shortly moving to Las Vegas. A friend of a friend just moved there and recommends it. I have a job currently but have not landed one in Vegas yet.

I have been considering Disability, as I was diagnosed with M.S. this year (I am 38) and have been having some cognitive difficulties as a result. They could get worse but as I do video editing and photo retouching I can work on the computer all day, which is the best scenario for someone like me.

My question is this: if I construct a strong business plan, have a sincere desire, and a vital work ethic, and am limited only sporadically by this condition, is there an organization out there that you know of that would consider giving me funds to start my own small photography/videography business? In Vegas? I had considered a CA move but then was scared off by so many variables about living there.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Possibly. I would start with this list. But, go to the Small Business Development first for advice on your business plan.
