Self-Employment Services for DVR Clients
As a Certified Business and Technical Assistance Consultant (CBTAC), I provide personalized support for individuals working with Florida Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) who are pursuing self-employment as their career path. My goal is to make the process clear, empowering, and fully aligned with DVR’s requirements.
Step-by-Step Business Development Support for DVR Clients
Initial Self-Employment Exploration.
This program is designed for Florida DVR clients pursuing self-employment. As your Certified Business and Technical Assistance Consultant (CBTAC), I will guide you through a 1–2 year process covering all 7 DVR benchmarks. Each stage includes assessments, planning, and coaching to help you build a sustainable business. Services include market research, business planning, financial forecasting, licensing support, and funding assistance.
Initial Self-Employment Exploration
Discuss your interest in self-employment, explore ideas, and assess if the program is a good fit for you. This is your first step toward launching your business through the DVR Self-Employment Program.
Business Concept Development
Develop your business idea by completing a Business Owner Profile and identifying your skills, supports, and ideal working conditions. This benchmark helps define what success looks like for you.
Market Research & Benefits Analysis
Conduct research on your target market, competition, and startup costs. Analyze potential earnings and how your business idea fits your goals. Includes DVR benefits review.
Financials & Marketing Plans
Work with your CBTAC to complete profit/loss statements, cash flow, and a strong marketing strategy. You'll also create your operations and management plan.
Business Plan Development
Revise and finalize your business plan with your CBTAC. Once approved by DVR, you'll prepare to submit your final version along with funding requests.
