Why?
Advantages of business incubators
Adaptability and flexibility
The size of the premises is suited to the entrepreneur's actual requirements. The area rented can be increased or reduced from month to month depending on availability. Entrepreneurs are not burdened by the inflexibility of a lease, and the notice required for leaving a business incubator is only two months.
Shared services
In each business incubator, entrepreneurs have shared reception services, a personalized switchboard, meeting rooms, office automation services, logistical aids (letters, mail shots, travel arrangements etc.)
Support and coordination
Orléans Pépinières arranges meetings between entrepreneurs (cafeteria area, presentation of new arrivals, friendly events etc.), as well as putting them in touch with networks of professionals, associations and institutions.
