Initiative France is the leading associative network for funding and support for business creators, buyers and developers. The network is strongly rooted locally with 215 associations spread throughout France – both in mainland and overseas France. They welcome entrepreneurs, assess their projects, fund them with interest-free loans, and guide and support entrepreneurs by giving them access to a local economic network through other business leaders. Initiative France and France Active carry out joint actions to support entrepreneurs throughout France. Many local branches belong to these two networks.
