The Blind Business Association Charitable Trust was founded in 1994 to promote self-employment for Visually Impaired People (VIPs) living in the UK. They assist by making grants to blind and partially sighted people starting their own business; to help with the purchase of essential equipment and materials; also for education and training. They can also make grants to existing businesses to aid expansion or provide specialised equipment not otherwise available. They can only consider making grants to VIPs resident in the United Kingdom, and in the following categories:
- People who are registered blind or partially sighted and are taking steps to set up their own business.
- People who are registered blind or partially sighted and are already in self-employment and need some special assistance.
- Students who are blind or partially sighted and wish to undertake a course leading to vocational or professional qualifications that will enable them to become employable or self employed in due course.
