# 3 Réalité de l’accompagnement entrepreneurial en France

Entrepreneurial support is crucial yet relatively underused in the French entrepreneurial ecosystem, with only 23.5% of nascent entrepreneurs benefiting from it. This practice, which varies in duration but often lasts no more than six months, is particularly popular among young entrepreneurs aged 25 to 34 and those with a higher level of education. Women are slightly more likely than men to use support, although the gap is not significant. The low take-up rate and short duration of support raise questions about its accessibility. The study’s authors suggest the need for a more inclusive national support strategy, adapted to entrepreneurs’ new expectations.
