Something like that should be possible, but I'd bet you'd be better 
served if you partnered with a storefront *or* offered to work on-site. 
I think you'd have a problem getting people to take you seriously as a 
business in the basement, no matter how well laid-out the basement 
"store front" is.

Of course, I'm assuming your disability wouldn't limit mobility/ability 
to work on-site.
