"I've only been here for a short time, but I've already had the chance to participate in several workshops, an interview, and a photo shoot. I've been positively impacted by the encounters, the learning, and the self-improvement. An information shared enabled me to join a support program with the BGE.".

Interview conducted, integration in January."

"I find this group very enriching; we are all kind, supportive, and attentive to one another! You are all wonderful women! I wasn’t able to attend many workshops this year because on Wednesdays it’s difficult for me to free up time. The interview was very enriching and helped to make my company known. The photos of me are beautiful.  

LORAINEA has a positive impact on me, but also on my company"

"I joined Lorainea not long ago, and I can already affirm that this group stands out for its dynamism and solidarity. Thanks to Marie, I had the opportunity to meet key people who contribute decisively to the structuring of Coaching Révélation, especially on issues related to the Qualiopi portfolio.

I can therefore affirm with confidence that this group has a real and positive impact on our future as entrepreneurs. We are the ones leading this network, and it is our daily work that makes it come to life.

Thank you for that."

"Beyond the benefits for my business (new clients and partners), I have found absolutely wonderful women: Nancy, who is a woman of great heart, 
but also some that I already knew and who have joined the group.
And there are many other women I have gotten to know through Bravo. Don’t give up on anything!"

Alone we go fast; together we go far

The entrepreneurial path is strewn with obstacles.
Don't stay alone.
Here, each woman has her place.

Your frequently asked questions

I haven't started my business yet, can I come?

Absolutely! Lorainéa also welcomes project initiators. In fact, this is the best time to join the network: you can test your ideas, ask your questions, and avoid rookie mistakes thanks to the experience of other members.

This is a symbolic membership that allows us to cover the administrative operating costs of the association (insurance, website, bank). It also marks your commitment to our solidarity approach.

No worries! We are far from the strict and cold business networks. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming (easy to get along with, no judgment). At every event, we make sure to welcome newcomers so that they don’t feel left out.

No, diversity is our strength! Retailers, freelancers, artisans, and freelancers… It’s this mix that creates unexpected opportunities. The only requirement: being a woman and starting a business in Lorraine.
