This work addresses the substantial differences in entrepreneurship among people with disabilities. The hypothesis is that in the minor tendency to the entrepreneurship in persons with a disability there are determinant the institutional, cultural and psychological factors, besides the derivatives of the own disability.

It has been used as a qualitative methodology to carry out this research, as a way of approaching the entrepreneurial reality of the group of people with physical and sensory disabilities. The discourse analysis made based on the interviews has allowed us to identify some of the singularities-strengths and weaknesses of this group before the entrepreneurial event.

The results of the research reveal that in the entrepreneurial activity, two groups of factors converge: formal (educational-training, economic, institutional and labor) and informal (cultural, psychological or family). All of them are important to explain entrepreneurship, but not to the same extent, especially when entrepreneurs present the particularities of the group of people with physical or sensory disabilities. This research explains the labor insertion gap in Spain in just over a third of employment in regards to people without disabilities.
