The FlexiLoan for Women fund provides financial assistance in the form of a loan to help part-time women entrepreneurs (flexipreneurs) realize their acquisition, succession, startup, and business growth projects. It also offers free support and tailored activities designed to meet the specific needs of flexipreneurs.
Are you a Flexipreneur?
A flexipreneur is a person whose current or planned entrepreneurial activities do not represent (or will not represent) a full-time occupation, meaning they combine their entrepreneurial activities with another occupation (employment, family care, retirement, etc.). Individuals whose business is seasonal and who have another occupation for the rest of the year are also considered flexipreneurs.
To learn more about flexipreneurship, check out the data and results of the Entreprendre au féminin autrement project, conducted by the SADC Shawinigan from 2018 to 2021.
