Business-Enterprise Program

Business-Enterprise Program

The Business Enterprise Program (BEP) may be able to help you find success through self-employment. This program helps by developing business sites (state, federal, etc.) and providing business opportunities (ex. vending routes, snack bars, convenience stores, full service, etc.).

You must be referred to BEP through Vocational Rehabilitation and successfully pass the National Restaurant Association ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certification to be eligible for help. You will need to complete an interview, test, work-site evaluations, and training (includes classroom instruction and on-the-job monitored training).
