Prêt d’honneur Bocage Initiatives
The catalogue entry indicates a personal loan without interest or guarantee, of up to €8,000, repayable over three to five years with a possible six-month deferral. It targets businesses in all sectors created less than three years ago or taken over less than one year ago in the territory concerned. The scheme supports an investment project and strengthens equity.
At start-up or after a takeover, a young business may need to strengthen its equity to finance equipment or fit-out works. The Bocage Initiatives honour loan (prêt d’honneur) is listed for businesses located within the perimeter of the Agglomération du Bocage Bressuirais. It should not be used as a rescue solution for cash flow that has already deteriorated.

The honour loan is granted to the individual and aims to consolidate the project’s equity.
