The questions we are asked
Do I need a precise idea already?
The track serves equally to sharpen an intention and to structure an already formed project: the first step is precisely to test the idea against a market.
Is legal formalisation covered?
Yes, within the OHADA framework: company forms, accounting obligations, commercial contracts and what they commit you to.
Can I follow the track while launching my business?
It is the most common situation, and required deliverables bear on your real project: the training work advances your business.
