Self-Employment Services

​​Self-employment is a consumer-owned business, profession, or trade that sells goods or services for the purpose of making a profit. A self-employed individual works for themselves for profit or fees, at home or at another work site, controlled by the individual. Self-employment includes sole proprietorships, partnerships (51% consumer owned), or corporations.

To be con​sidered self-employment, an individual's business venture must have comparable income to an indivual without a disability who is self-employed in similar occupations and tasks, and has similar training experience and skills. Self-employment is not a hobby or a "side gig".
