Financing the activities of my soap and cosmetic product production factory was made possible thanks to the BIIC WITH THEM Program. This program intended to support women entrepreneurs allowed me not only to benefit from support from experts, but also to obtain financing to structure and equip my business.

My ambition is to offer a quality cosmetic product through the promotion of soap black “KOTTO”. I discovered the BIIC WITH THEM Program at the SME fair organized by the BlIC. Thanks to this program, I was able to improve the quality of my production and obtain authorization of placing on the market. From now on, our products can be found in supermarkets, pharmacies and other surfaces thanks to the BIIC WITH THEM program.

I spent many years seeking funding for my project. I ended up to give up and I thought it was impossible until I heard about the Program put in place by the BlIC to support women entrepreneurs. The BIIC WITH THEM Program allowed me to have funding to equip my laboratory and increase my production capacity.

Our brand now has a range of varied products in different formats. The BIIC WITH THEM Program has allowed us to increase our production and diversify. We now export to countries like Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast… This program has really given us a huge boost

Like many Beninese entrepreneurs, I no longer hoped to obtain financing for expand my production. It was a big, but very pleasant surprise for me to benefit from the advantages and especially the financing of the BlIC's BIIC WITH THEM Program. This program allowed me to better equip my laboratory and improve the quality of my products. Thanks to the BIlC and long live the Program BIIC WITH THEM so that many other women Beninese entrepreneurs benefit from it.

Since 2020, our production unit has had difficulty making large productions due to material shortage. I also had difficulty finding financing to expand my production unit and empower it. And that’s when I discovered the BIIC Avec ELLES program which allowed me to benefit from significant funding to equip my unit production and maximize my profit. Thanks to the BIIC WITH THEM Program, I started the development of my activity with cutting-edge equipment. Thanks to the BIIC!

The BIIC WITH THEM Program has strengthened our confidence in what we do. It is for me a surprised but very pleasant to see a bank supporting an entrepreneur in the field of training. Thanks to the support and support of the BIIC, we have modernized and equipped our training rooms with state-of-the-art equipment. We have also developed an online training service to expand our clientele and internationalize it, knowing that distance learning is more competitive these days.

I benefited from funding from BIIC through the BIIC WITH THEM Program. Thank you to BIIC for believing in and supporting female entrepreneurship

As part of the expansion of our clinic specializing in maternal and child health, we We approached several financial institutions without obtaining the support we hoped for. With the BIIC we found attentive partners ready to believe in our ambitions. Thanks to their commitment, we we are now considering the realization of our project, with the prospect of offering quality care thanks to an optimal technical platform and a space better suited to our patients.

The BIIC WITH THEM program, like similar programs, is a real lever for change within the beneficiary female companies of which I am part. Indeed, through this program, women entrepreneurs like us manage to break barriers linked to financing and to carrying out ambitious projects.
