Hi Will, I know that Access to Work certainly used to provide equipment if you were self-employed, and I've seen nothing to suggest that that has changed. I doubt the process would be significantly different - I imagine you would still need an assessment etc, but the centre is probably your best port of call.

Can access to work help those who are self-employed needing equipment and if so, how?
