Running a business when you are neurodiverse or living with a disability can come with additional challenges. Executive dysfunction, chronic pain, fatigue, overwhelm, anxiety, sensory overload or mobility limitations can all impact how you manage day to day operations.
The good news is that financial support may be available.
Access to Work is a UK Government scheme designed to support disabled people and those with long term physical or mental health conditions in employment, including self employed business owners.
At The Empowered Entrepreneur, I provide structured, professional virtual assistant support for business owners who receive Access to Work funding.
This is practical, real world business support designed to help you work sustainably and grow with confidence.
Access to Work can provide funding for practical support that helps remove barriers to working.
If you run your own business in the UK, you may be eligible for funding to cover:
• Administrative support
• Virtual assistant services
• Business organisation and systems
• Social media support
• Diary and inbox management
• Support worker assistance
• Specialist equipment
• Coaching or structured accountability
Funding is agreed following an assessment and can cover ongoing support where appropriate.
Full details and eligibility criteria can be found on GOV.UK.
If your Access to Work award includes funding for admin or business support, I can provide professional virtual assistant services tailored to your needs.
This may include:
• Inbox and calendar management
• Client onboarding and systems
• Document creation and organisation
• Workflow streamlining
• CRM and database management
• Content planning
• Capturing and repurposing content
• Scheduling and basic platform management
• Creating structure around visibility
• Clear processes and task breakdowns
• Accountability check ins
• Gentle structure without pressure
• Systems that reduce cognitive load
• Consistency during fluctuating energy levels
My approach is calm, structured and non judgemental. The aim is not to add pressure, but to create stability and clarity within your business.
This service is suitable for:
• Neurodiverse entrepreneurs
• Business owners with ADHD or autism
• Disabled self employed professionals
• Entrepreneurs living with chronic illness or pain
• Founders managing mental health conditions
• Business owners who need structured administrative support
If your condition affects your ability to manage administrative tasks, organisation, planning or consistency, Access to Work funding may help cover the cost of virtual assistant support.
I can provide a service outline and cost breakdown to support your application if required.
