Why Accessibility Matters

Why wheelchair accessibility matters for your business

Beyond just being the right thing to do, there are several reasons why wheelchair accessibility matters for your business:

• Making your business wheelchair-friendly creates an inclusive and accessible environment for (future) employees and customers with reduced mobility. Mobility challenges can affect anyone at any time —- so you, or someone close to you, may even benefit from the accessibility as well.

• Having accessibility features makes your business attractive to a larger group of potential customers, creating opportunities for both wheelchair users and their extended friends and family to enjoy the product(s) and service(s) your business offers.

• Creating an accessible experience will further contribute to customer loyalty. If your accessibility is good, people will recommend your business and come back to buy your product again.

• Finally, being wheelchair-friendly demonstrates your business’ commitment to accessibility and inclusivity.
