Take care of our contractors, the health of our economy depends on it!

Blandine Mulliez and Thibault de Saint Simon, respectively, president and executive director of the Foundation Entreprendre, sign up to Le Figaro an article in which they indicate that it is thanks to the creativity, energy and commitment of entrepreneurs that France, and more broadly, the economic world will rise.

"The global crisis is unprecedented Covid-19 has put forward a paradox is hardly surprising: on the one hand the lack of resources of our care system and the fragility of our economy and the high level of resilience, the resilience and solidarity of the French and of our society.

How not to be appreciative of health care providers that are committed without limit in spite of the risks in this battle in the face of the epidemic? How not to be in awe of the professions in the second line to make a living for the French: food stores, carriers, garbage collectors...? All occupations poorly recognized each measure today the usefulness. Finally, how not to be appreciative of the solidarity of the French, who are mobilizing at home, in their businesses, through associations, to help those who need it?

The battle for health is not yet finished, but we need to already begin to meet the economic challenge which we do not measure yet the scope but that will be the worst economic crisis since 1945, according to Bruno Le Maire, minister of the economy.

We must now move forward with the desire to create, collectively, a society that is more just, and sustainable, which will also draw the lessons of this crisis,

We must now move forward with the desire to create, collectively, a more just society, and sustainable that will also draw the lessons of this crisis. The Foundation to Undertake recognized public utility, is convinced that it is by the creativity, energy and commitment of the entrepreneurs that we will be able to rebuild our economy and ensure that we meet collectively stronger.

With the associations of land that we support, the Foundation will Undertake a needs and priority axes on which we can act now to prepare for tomorrow. In addition to financial measures especially taken by the State, the entrepreneurs need support is often vital in this difficult period, in order to make the right diagnosis on the situation of their business and be guided to the help devices adapted. It is thus necessary to intensify the work of listening, monitoring, custom, and moral support.

Aware that the contractors will not be able to all meet, the needs will be even more meaningful to bind the wounds and help them to bounce back. The barometer COFACE dated as of April 6, indicates that the failure of firms is expected to grow by 25% in the world and 15% in France...

In the context of this crisis, the creations of companies have dropped by 30% and registrations of micro-entrepreneurs have already dropped by almost 20% march 2020

It will also be important to accompany those who wish to engage in entrepreneurship, sometimes in response to a problem of unemployment but always animated by the desire to create economic activity that will help rebuild our economy. According to the INSEE, in the context of this crisis, the creations of companies have dropped by 30% and registrations of micro-entrepreneurs have already dropped by almost 20% in march 2020...

so, we need more than ever to support the entrepreneurial urge, the chance to develop his skills, his posture is entrepreneurial, and network. We will need contractors to help rebuild the economy, they will need us to overcome difficulties and successfully begin in a context that will be particularly complicated.

We will need contractors to help rebuild the economy, they will need us to overcome their challenges and succeed at going into a context which will be complicated

Blandine Mulliez and Thibault de Saint Simon

finally, We are convinced that we need to develop a more resilient society through entrepreneurship. Businesses have incorporated the social and environmental challenges of our society by placing them at the heart of their economic model, or those working to re-energize the territories fragile, will participate in the development of a more sustainable society, more inclusive and therefore stronger. We must take the learnings of this crisis and to encourage the development of businesses knowing embrace their mission to society, and thus to reconcile usefulness and cost-effectiveness.

The Foundation Undertake therefore calls his wishes that the momentum of mobilization in this period of crisis does not come to a halt in the next few weeks and that everyone is mobilized to support our entrepreneurs on the front line to rebuild our economy."

If only it was possible for it to reach the ears of the prime minister who encouraged the business leaders to the resumption of activity by beginning to remind them of their criminal liability in the protection of their employees !
