Early Warning Scan
Early Warning Scan
Background information
The economic and financial crisis made SMEs with fewer than 10 employees very vulnerable. The number of bankruptcies and business closures was rising. However, many companies could have been helped if they received specific advice at the right time. It is in this context that the "Re-Action" scheme was born. Its aim is to provide emergency assistance free of charge. To entrepreneurs that are potentially in a difficult situation.
Content of measure
The early warning scan is a new initiative since 2018, started by the Walloon Agency for Enterprises and Innovation (Agence pour l'Entreprise et l'Innovation). It consists of an online survey for business owners to notify and inform them of signs that their business might be at risk. The questions are related to planning; advice and external support; finances; human resources or business relations.
After the test, the respondent can contact the appropriate services for additional support through the site. An advisor will analyse the points of improvement and will propose an action plan.
This scheme is coordinated at regional level by SOGEPA. In the province of Luxembourg, this service is hosted by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Belgian Luxembourg.
Use of measure
It is a quick way to obtain some personalised information on the status of their company.
