The Covid-19 pandemic has posed numerous threats to the operations and financial sustainability of many businesses and resulted in dire economic consequences. 

The Pitch Hub partnered with Dislabelled, a social enterprise, aimed at providing career and academic development opportunities to increase the economic power of persons with disability (PWDs) in Africa to create a Small Business Accelerator Programme for business owners living with disabilities (PWDs) in Ghana. 

The Small Business Accelerator Program provides direct and holistic support to the selected beneficiaries, by giving them access to business resources like coaching, mentorship and funding, to help revive and grow their ventures from the devastating effects of COVID-19.

The sessions include a wide array of topics such as operational excellence, finance and bookkeeping, marketing strategy, business model review (capacity building, customer expansion) and personal branding and development.

The program is open to Ghanaian-based business owners living with physical or cognitive disabilities. The business must be legally registered and must have been in operation for at least 2 years.
