The Arrigorriaga City Council and Adecua have joined forces for the ‘Berriz Enpresa’ program, aiming to boost the local economy and guarantee the viability of businesses within the municipality. This initiative seeks to facilitate the continuity of companies in the commerce, hospitality, and accommodation sectors, preventing closures and promoting intergenerational succession.
The program offers a catalog of free services targeting two main profiles: firstly, merchants looking to sell an established business, with active searches for potential buyers, protection of promotion and economic valuation, and assistance throughout the sales process. Secondly, it is aimed at entrepreneurs wishing to acquire a business, helping them find suitable opportunities, conducting feasibility studies and business plans, and providing legal advice and startup support.
As transition and handover processes require time, Adecua emphasizes that “it is highly beneficial to start seeking information even if retirement or handover is not immediate.” For more information or to clarify doubts, the phone number 688 676 366 is available.
