Common questions
Do I need a business idea to start?
Not at all. Many participants start with no idea—we use Discovery and workshops to help you explore what you enjoy and what could become a business.
Is microenterprise NDIS funded?
Yes. Microenterprise development is funded under NDIS supports. We price in line with the NDIS Support Catalogue.
What kinds of businesses do participants start?
Everything from handmade products (jewellery, sewn goods, art) to photography, recycling services, keyrings, and more. It depends entirely on you.
Do I need to invest my own money?
We focus on low-risk starts. Our workshops let you test ideas and build products without personal financial investment upfront.
