How much does a small business cost?
Start-up costs for small business are as wide ranging as business ideas. Many micro-enterprises start with little or no money and grow over time. Most small business in the United States cost less than $10,000,and recent examples of businesses owned by people with disabilities show the costs averaging approximately $5000. On-going support costs vary depending upon the person and their disability, but these supports (e.g. transportation, medications, instructional assistance) would typically be necessary whether a business was started or not.
