The National Federation of 60,000 rebounds, with 10 territorial associations in France and the Antilles-Guyana, is opening its 65th branch on Reunion Island.
The launch evening of the territorial branch took place on October 30, 2024 at the APJH in Sainte Marie, around the entrepreneurs, volunteers and partners of the association!
60,000 rebounds supports entrepreneurs on Reunion Island who have lost their business, free of charge, to bounce back towards a new professional project. The National Federation, with a first team of volunteers from Reunion Island, is officially launching the system on site, to allow local entrepreneurs to benefit from its support system.
Created in 2012, 60,000 rebounds is a recognized association under the 1901 law of general interest, of a social nature, whose vocation is to support entrepreneurs who have ceased their activity to rebuild themselves personally and to bounce back towards another professional project. Established in 10 regions and present in 65 cities, 60,000 rebounds brings together 1,850 volunteers committed to providing tailor-made and free support. In 2023, the association has exceeded the bar of 1,000 entrepreneurs supported!
“Let’s fight against the injustice that causes those who dare to be stigmatized!” »
Philippe Fourquet, National President of 60,000 rebounds.
Every year in mainland France and the French Overseas Territories, tens of thousands of companies are liquidated. For many entrepreneurs, it is a triple trauma: personal, professional and financial. In 2012, more than 60,000 failures were recorded, including that of Philippe Rambaud, who then decided, from Bordeaux, to create a system to help those who lost their businesses.
The first mission of 60,000 rebounds: support. With 65 branches in 65 cities, the support system, proven for 12 years, is deployed by the National Federation. The idea is to allow entrepreneurs on Reunion Island in a situation of entrepreneurial failure to benefit from the system free of charge, to promote their personal and professional recovery.
Change the way you look at failure. Beyond its action on the ground, the association carries a message: that of valuing experience, rather than focusing on failure. That of prioritizing learning over setbacks. To highlight the men and women who dare.

Sylvio Boyer, native of Saint-Leu and head of the Terre du Sud company, is the representative of the Island branch. He is responsible for orchestrating the system, welcoming entrepreneurs and directing them to volunteers so that they can be supported.
As soon as their business is liquidated, or their independent activity ceases, entrepreneurs can contact the association.
100% supported over a maximum period of 2 years, they will benefit from:
1 individual support: a state-certified coach + a sponsor – business owner or executive – will contact the entrepreneur to help them move forward with a new professional project.
1 collective support: a monthly meeting is organized on the Island, to bring together budding entrepreneurs around the branch's volunteers and volunteer business experts (lawyer, social worker, insurer, etc.) responsible for responding to their problems. Co-development workshops, sharing of experiences and conferences from business experts, all tools to launch the entrepreneur towards the path of his choice!
