The Entrepreneurs with Disabilities program (EDP) was created to provide enhanced small business development support to people with disabilities in rural Alberta. Self-employment can be a great way for persons with a disability or an ongoing medical condition to get back into the workforce.

This specialized program includes:

• Business training
• Assistance with drawing up a business plan
• Mentoring
• Affordable, flexible business loans to establish a new business, purchase an existing business, or expand or upgrade an existing business

To be eligible for the Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Program, you must:

• Have a self-declared disability or ongoing medical condition
• Live in rural Alberta
• Have a viable business idea
• Be able to contribute in some way to your business
