Peter White talks to visually impaired people who have set themselves up in business, exploring some of the problems they face and how they deal with them.

We look at the advantages and the pitfalls of starting up your own business when you are visually impaired. What kind of help is available and what are some of the essential "dos" and "don'ts"? We speak to three people who have done it and hear of their experiences. We also talk to Action for Blind People's Wai-Man Leung, who has been leading a project looking at self-employment trends across Europe and have produced a toolkit for blindness agencies looking to provide support to prospective visually impaired business-owners.
