The Disability Business Network runs a starter programme for disabled people, on behalf of CCS Disability Action, called My Business Starter that takes place on ZOOM over nine weekly sessions – five full group sessions with four small group coaching sessions in between. All sessions are held on Tuesdays between 6:30pm - 8:00pm.

By the time you have completed the programme you will have:

• A short business plan

• Covered areas such as defining your product or service, finance, marketing and how to get started

• Made a decision about your idea to either “Do it or Drop it!”

The Disability Business Network is one of the only networks solely dedicated to disabled business owners in Aotearoa/New Zealand. By completing the My Business Starter programme you will automatically become a member of the Disability Business Network, connecting with other disabled business owners to learn and to share your stories and experiences. These monthly ZOOM meetings are held on a Wednesday between 6:30pm - 8:00pm.

The Disability Business Network is run by three leaders in the disability sector who have a proven track record in helping disabled people thrive: Selwyn Cook, Sandra Budd and ‘that blind woman’, Julie Woods. They are working together with CCS Disability Action, New Zealand's largest pan-disability support and advocacy provider.
