Entrepreneurs and small business leaders who succumb to difficulties must, like their employees, find a new position on the job market. Age discrimination remains a factor. It is often necessary and particularly difficult for these individuals to gather the energy required to regain their status in the community and create their own business.

Commercial banks are not interested in this type of client. The essential role of providing support to those who have encountered business difficulties belongs to community associations such as ADIE (a French association lending money to unemployed individuals trying to create their own business).

There have been numerous success stories in this respect. Professionals who know entrepreneurs willing to fight must absolutely direct them to these essential partners promoting economic solidarity.
