Why No Shop Yet?
As someone who is multiply disabled and lives alone in poverty with no support system to help with such things—and no clear idea what I need to do to start my art business safely without jeopardizing the safety nets barely keeping me alive—I’m moving forward carefully.
I still need to establish my LLC before I can begin selling, even on POD sites. Before setting up the LLC, I need to rent a UPS box so I don’t have to use my physical address for my business. Then after that there will still be many other expenses, I just have no clue how I’ll be able to afford making this dream of mine come true.
Since SSDI barely covers my monthly expenses, I’ve exhausted many avenues seeking financial help or even proper coaching on how to start my own business. I’m currently researching grants I may qualify for. But things take longer when you’re the entire team. Especially with financial and disability-related limitations.
I’m not waiting forever; I’m gathering funds and resources responsibly so I don’t crash before I even really start.
If you want to speed things up, donations via Ko-Fi help cover startup costs directly. If you’d rather just wait, follow my socials for updates.
