Quote Cybelle Biard

Thanks to CAE Capital, my project is much more solid, clear, concrete, thought through, and I am ready to launch my business. The CAE Capital team made a big difference in my business start-up, namely in terms of the production, development and writing of my business plan with the 10-week workshop. Thank you for everything, you guys are amazing.
