Benefit from an EMP to support your cash flow!

To respond to the economic emergency linked to the health crisis, the State has set up a guaranteed loan (PGE) to support businesses and boost the economy.

Since May, crowdfunding platforms have been authorized to distribute this loan, 90% guaranteed by Bpifrance. Learn more

The EMP consists of two phases:

  1. An initial phase of 12 months at 2% with deferred amortization.
  2. At the end of the first 12 months, the borrower can opt for an optional second phase and spread the repayments over a period of 1 to 5 years with a rate which depends on the duration and the risk.
