How long should professionals support someone as a small business
owner?
Answer:
Many systems are time limited. Schools, Work Force
Investment programs, and Vocational Rehabilitation are among these.
Using these services should be done planfully with necessary long-term
supports being accommodated through the business design (e.g. having
a business, family member, or employee providing assistance), through
purchase of business services paid from sales (e.g., accounting,
marketing, sales), or through extended services available from state
General Fund and/or Medicaid Waiver dollars used by Developmental
Disability and Mental Health programs throughout the country.
