Pays d'Aubagne La Ciotat Initiative

As a member of the "Initiative France" national network, Pays d'Aubagne La Ciotat Initiative is a local association founded in 1999. Its mission is to detect, support, and finance new entrepreneurs in the Pays d'Aubagne and La Ciotat region. The organization provides "prêts d'honneur" (interest-free honor loans) without personal guarantees, which helps strengthen the entrepreneurs' equity and facilitates access to traditional bank loans. In addition to financial support, it offers personalized mentorship and connects new business owners with a network of local economic partners.
