One of the program's key objectives is to improve the chances of obtaining debt or equity capital from public and private financial institutions and individual private investors. It will ensure that those considering new business ventures or expansion are fully aware of what is involved, preferably before committing significant capital. In addition, it will encourage alliances among farmers establishing value-added enterprises. 2, record 2, English, - Planning%20and%20Assessment%20for%20Value%2DAdded%20Enterprises%20Program

Le Programme de planification et d'évaluation pour les entreprises de produits à valeur ajoutée (PEPVA) a été conçu dans le but de favoriser la préparation et l'utilisation d'évaluations de faisabilité et de plans d'entreprise lors de la fondation ou de l'expansion d'une entreprise à valeur ajoutée, car ces évaluations et ces plans multiplient les chances de succès du lancement et des opérations d'un projet d'entreprise. Un des principaux objectifs du programme est d'améliorer la possibilité d'obtenir un prêt ou des capitaux d'investissement auprès d'institutions financières publiques ou privées et d'investisseurs indépendants. Ce programme fera en sorte que les personnes désireuses de fonder une entreprise ou d'agrandir la leur seront pleinement informés de ce que cela implique, préférablement avant d'investir un montant d'argent considérable. De plus, il encouragera les alliances entre agriculteurs qui fondent des entreprises de produits à valeur ajoutée. 1, record 2, French, - Programme%20de%20planification%20et%20d%27%C3%A9valuation%20pour%20les%20entreprises%20de%20produits%20%C3%A0%20valeur%20ajout%C3%A9e
