WHO IS THIS PROGRAM DESIGNED FOR?
This program is for those in need of work and they manage mental health or a brain injury. Also, a family member or friend may work alongside them to get the most out of the program. Anyone physically able and aged 28 - 55 is a good fit. The increase in mental health issues and brain injuries from sports and vehicle accidents often leave families slipping into poverty. This program can help you avoid that situation with a second income that is profitable and flexible. While younger applicants can apply, generally a certain maturity to engage with customers is required.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
We use a subscription model to make our program affordable.
​
Paint Kits (for 2 people) costs 1200 cad + 5% tax. Monthly fee for 6 months is 159 cad + 5% tax (for video training and practise). Finally once trained, then it is 79 cad + 5% tax for 18mos. If you need us beyond 24mos we are valuable and available. We think you will get the hang of it by then, but we are always here for you. Total costs over 24mos is 3760 cad including tax.
CAN HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS TAKE THIS PROGRAM?
Absolutely. Anyone of age and capacity can take our courses. As long as you are safe to go into people's homes (signing up for a license has police checks), we are as excited as you are to change your life.
WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE DISABILITY INCOME?
Great question. There is usually an amount you can earn above your disability income that will not affect the disability income. We are the perfect solution for you. It can be troublesome to work your way off of disability and we would not want to be responsible for that in any case. So a part time Painter you shall be!
WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU OFFER?
Primarily 4 courses & ongoing live daily support (with finding work, estimating, project management, colours, getting paid and customer service). Courses are Basic Skills - Painting for therapy. Paid Pro Painter - Painting for Income. Painting Contractor - Owning a Small Business. And finally Next Big Thing - Prep for Retirement. We provide DAY TO DAY support through webcasts, emails and texting.
ISN'T IT EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE A BUSINESS?
Not when you consider the cost of how the current system is managed. Typically, individuals with intellectual disabilities apply for jobs, they get trained and then they misstep for one reason or another due to health and leave the company to heal and repeat the process by finding another low-paying self-esteem killing job. Companies pay for constant retraining and frustration with Biomi individuals. So our Biomi typically end up with a resume full of holes. Our innovation is the low-cost training and live ongoing support that allows our Painters to complete one project after another at their own pace, thereby creating a portfolio of success! Small business costs and reporting were manageable and you have us to help!
HOW DO I GET TOOLS?
We offer tool kits shipped directly to your door in North America. It comes with everything you need for 2 people to brush and roll up to 5 jobs. We can also have a kit made up for you at your local paint store, complete with a company painting account (cash only).

Our best training, coaches leveraging your business to the next level with a crew of 3. We want you as a success as one of our students.
HOW CAN I MAKE THIS CONSTRUCTIVE FOR MY DISABLED FAMILY MEMBER?
