Disabled Businesspersons Association (DBA) is comprised of successful business owners, professionals and executives with disabilities who generously donate their time to assist enterprising individuals with disabilities. They provide free, on-call, Internet-based business consultancy directed at anyone with a disability, and to those working directly with people having disabilities. They offer a complete package of services from business identification and evaluation, to the planning process and launch phase, identifying financial resources and business management, to on-going business assistance and services. DBA recognizes that disabilities often present challenges for people wanting to start their own businesses- ranging from questions about benefits and working with vocational rehabilitation programs, to the medical, physical, mental, or social effects of having a disability and being in business. As active business people, their goal at DBA is to provide some of the solutions and take the mystery out of competing in the world of business, to help ensure the success of entrepreneurs with disabilities.

Urban Miyares, founder of DBA, offers valuable advice for people with disabilities thinking about self-employment: "Self-employment is not for everyone. But for those frustrated with their current lifestyle and willing to take those steps to make change in their lives, self-employment may be that option which opens doors to opportunity, promotes workplace entry, increases social inclusion and mainstreaming, improves health, enhances financial security, and establishes a legacy for those you love". For those willing to do their homework and take control of their future, DBA is there to help.
