prêt d'honneur — Réseau Entreprendre Côte d'Opale
The catalogue entry mentions a prêt d’honneur of €10,000 to €30,000, repayable over five years, for start-ups with strong job-creation potential or certain takeovers. It indicates a target of at least 6 to 9 jobs over three years and a financing need comparable to that of a future SME. The precise criteria, amounts and support must be confirmed with the local association.
Réseau Entreprendre Côte d’Opale supports founders and buyers who aim to grow a business and create jobs. The prêt d’honneur (an interest-free personal loan to the founder) is granted to the individual, with no interest or security, and comes with mentoring by business leaders and training. It does not replace bank financing: it aims in particular to strengthen the founder’s own contribution and make the overall financing easier to arrange.
