PIP, ESA and Business

8legpet

I saw a post from 2023 that resonated with me; drawing me to this community.
I am receiving PIP (Enhanced for both), I am receiving ESA (Support Group) but I have an idea for a potential business operation.

I've approached a local Enterprise Agency and explained my position., but after 18 months of clubs, "meetings" and emails, I haven't progressed at all. As you can imagine, it is deeply distressing, and leaves me feeling devalued, dismissed.

I honestly have the impression that this "Agency" is out of it's depth because of my unusual situation and therefore continuously recycles pointless "guidance" that only points me to the same stonewall.

I would love to hear from either community members, or professional agencies who are able to assist me to either move forward, or (I'm not afraid to be told) explain why my enterprise will never materialise.😕

This certainly isn't my area of expertise @8legpet, but I know we have some advice sections on starting your own business as a disabled person:

I hope it provides some help or new avenues for you to look for support. I'm sorry the local Enterprise Agency has not been much use at all. It does sometimes feel like they are only equipped for the most basic of situations 😑
