What Barriers Do Disabled & Marginalized Entrepreneurs Face?
While every entrepreneur faces struggles, some disadvantages that our clients face are exacerbated by barriers they inherently deal with.
Opportunistic Sales
Many sales tactics take advantage of a new business owner’s lack of knowledge or experience. Instead of treating small businesses and entrepreneurs as valued partners, some companies see them as opportunities for higher profits, exploiting their uncertainty about fair pricing.
Unconscious Bias
Even well-meaning potential clients, partners, or investors may hold unconscious biases that influence their decisions. Marginalized entrepreneurs often find themselves needing to prove their competence more than their peers, facing additional scrutiny that can slow their progress.
Financial Struggles
While any entrepreneur may face challenges obtaining start-up capital, it can be especially difficult for those with additional barriers. Underemployment or unemployment may have resulted in fewer savings to invest in their new venture. It can also be more challenging to obtain business loans and financing for someone who has faced employment struggles, regardless of how impressive their business plan may be.
Limited Access to Networks
Many marginalized entrepreneurs face challenges in building professional networks due to systemic barriers and a lack of representation in traditional business spaces. This can limit opportunities for mentorship, partnerships, and growth.
Perceived Disadvantage
Marginalized communities have struggled for generations to be treated as equal and valued members of society. A person’s gender, gender identity, ethnicity, culture, and disability status are not indicative of their abilities. Yet, it is still common to see a woman being underpaid, a person of colour being followed around a store by security, a transgender person being harassed in the workplace, or a disabled person being assumed to be less competent.
Accessibility Challenges
Whether physical, digital, or systemic, accessibility remains a major hurdle for entrepreneurs with disabilities. From inaccessible workspaces to software that lacks proper accommodations, these barriers can hinder productivity and business operations.
