Starting or growing a business can come with added challenges when you’re navigating a disability or ongoing health condition, especially when it comes to access to financing and tailored support. In Saskatchewan, the Community Future Saskatchewan — Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Program is designed to help close that gap by combining practical business advice with access to capital. Delivered through the province’s Community Futures network, the program supports entrepreneurs who want to turn a viable idea into a business or take an existing operation to the next stage.
Rather than focusing only on funding, the program emphasizes hands-on guidance. Participants can work one-on-one with experienced business advisors to refine their ideas, develop a solid business plan, and make informed decisions about growth. For businesses that are ready to invest, repayable loans of up to roughly $150,000 may be available to help cover startup costs, equipment purchases, or expansion activities. This blend of financing and mentorship is especially valuable for small and medium-sized businesses that benefit from both capital and personalized support.
The Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Program is currently available in Saskatchewan and supports entrepreneurs in a wide range of industries. Business owners interested in understanding how the program works, what support is available, and whether their plans are a good fit may want to explore the full details before taking the next step.
