We offer you and your project our financing expertise: we apply for available government assistance on your behalf and introduce you to our financial partners. Through our network, we can also speed up some administrative formalities, including issuance of building permits and other authorisations. And we facilitate your ties with local authorities.
Optimised financial engineering
Financing is the backbone of any new venture. And since each investment is different, a customised approach is the only way to go—solutions tailored to your specific needs.
We know your time is valuable. To make the best use of it, we analyse needs specific to your project and your business plan, then identify available public aid and support mechanisms for which you’re eligible.
Since prerequisites and eligibility vary from one programme to the next, finding the right ones for you is an on-going process. But we can leverage our familiarity with the French economy and administration and our ties with regional and state authorities to help you identify sources of funding for your project.
