Initiative Gironde

Initiative Gironde is a member of the "Initiative France" national network, the leading associative network for financing and supporting business creators in France. As a non-profit association, its mission is to detect, finance, and support new entrepreneurs in the Gironde department. They provide "prêts d'honneur" (honor loans) at a zero-interest rate without requiring personal guarantees, which helps strengthen the entrepreneur's equity and facilitates access to traditional bank loans. In addition to funding, the association offers personalized monitoring and access to a network of professional and volunteer sponsors to help ensure the long-term success of the new businesses.
