It allows these organizations to secure non-refundable financial assistance for the creation and development of their business and to benefit from coaching services.
The social economy field includes all collective enterprises (co-operatives, NPOs, mutual associations) working for economic and social purposes. These collective enterprises exist primarily to fulfil a social mission, but nevertheless must be economically profitable through the sale of goods or services.
