Objectif Commerces: easing the rent when setting up
The scheme targets the creation, takeover and development of local activities in the Lens-Liévin territory. The funding covers the rent for the premises, not stock purchases or all launch costs. The perimeter, accepted activities, cap and current terms should be confirmed with the agglomeration before signing or committing to the project.
To open a local shop or workshop, the rent for the premises is an immediate cost before turnover has stabilised. The Lens-Liévin agglomeration presents Objectif Commerces as set-up aid, with announced coverage of 30% of the rent for one year.
