Benefits of participating in the service
By using our advisory services, you can make sure that you take into account everything that you need to consider as an entrepreneur, thereby avoiding the pitfalls present during a business’s first steps. The advisory services will provide you with practical advice on your path to entrepreneurship, from the business idea to registering your business.
More than 80% of businesses that consult business advisory services before starting their business are still in operation after five years (compared to 50% among those that did not consult business advisory services). Therefore, we recommend that you also make use of entrepreneurship professionals.
