*Formerly known as the Business Transfer Fund
The Succession Fund, part of the Local Investment Fund, is aimed at any entrepreneur or group of entrepreneurs wishing to acquire at least 25% of the value of an existing business (or its assets) with a view to taking over the business.
The Succession Fund could be used to increase the entrepreneur's down payment, since it can be made in the buyer's personal name, depending on the situation. This means that other creditors may consider it as equity, which is a major advantage for the successor entrepreneur.
