“Our region thus joins Flanders, Brussels and other European countries, where similar reforms have made it possible to boost entrepreneurship and therefore the creation of companies and jobs“Says the government.
If the creation of new businesses is growing stable in Wallonia, it remains low on a European scale.
In addition, the program was no longer adapted to the needs of entrepreneurs candidates and it was relatively easy to derogate from the obligation of management skills, for example by associating with a third party.
The reform is part of the broader framework of the simplification of the landscape of support for entrepreneurs, which must be both more readable, simpler and more efficient, in particular with regard to business creation, continues the executive.
Professional skills specific to certain professions, such as restaurateurs, bakers and pastry chefs, roofers or heating engineers, are maintained, he specifies.
“By removing the obligation of management skills and simplifying administrative procedures, we make entrepreneurship more accessible. This is a real boost for those who wish to get started, without unnecessary barriers“Concludes the Minister of Employment, Pierre-Yves Jeholet.
