Business vouchers for low-cost support

What are business vouchers?  

Business vouchers are a scheme that bring together experts (known as certified service providers) with Walloon project developers and entrepreneurs. What is more, Wallonia contributes to the cost of the expert's services. So you get quality service at an affordable price. Business vouchers cover all stages of a company's life and development: start-up, growth, innovation, export, transfer, etc.

Which business vouchers are right for me? 

Several vouchers are available to help you develop your business:

"Business growth and development" vouchers

Identify growth opportunities 

Do you want to boost your company's growth? Are you planning to diversify your activities? The Diagnosis-Growth voucher enables you to receive from a consultant to establish a complete or specialised diagnosis of your company. At the end of this analysis, you will receive a proposed action plan to promote growth. You can then decide to continue with the Growth-Support voucher to refine and implement this plan.

What is the role of the SPW? (automatic translation)

We manage applications for accreditation from service providers. This involves examining the applications and checking that the service providers meet the necessary criteria to be approved. This step is crucial to ensure that companies receive quality services when they use company cheques.

In addition, we are responsible for checking cheque applications throughout the entire process: from granting to settlement. We ensure that each request complies with the rules in force, to guarantee rigorous and transparent management of public funds.

Finally, our role is to monitor compliance with the rules in force. It is essential to follow the legal framework, as failure to do so could result in sanctions. You should be aware that checks can be carried out at any time, so don't hesitate to check the regulations and make sure that everything is in order to avoid any problems.
