prêt d'honneur — Réseau Entreprendre Sarthe
The Réseau Entreprendre Sarthe prêt d’honneur combines financing in the form of a prêt d’honneur with entrepreneurial support, according to the local branch’s terms. The application must clearly set out the business model, market, financing need, resources already secured and prospects for creating or developing jobs. The detailed criteria must be checked against the official rules in force. Details from the catalogue: the scheme aims in particular to help founders and buyers of job-creating SMEs with strong growth potential to emerge and succeed, through personalised long-term support from an experienced entrepreneur, access to the winners’ club, financing in the form of a prêt d’honneur to boost your equity, and access to the international Réseau Entreprendre network.
The Réseau Entreprendre Sarthe prêt d’honneur is for entrepreneurs who want to structure a start-up, a takeover or, where local criteria allow, a growth phase. The scheme is about more than financing: the application must also show the strength of the project, the manager’s ability to run it and the value of entrepreneurial support. For the Réseau Entreprendre Sarthe branch, the first step is to confirm the area covered and the selection criteria currently applied.
