Kiloutou and Adie have joined forces to remove a barrier to business creation: access to professional equipment and skills. Since September, entrepreneurs supported by Adie have benefited from a 20% discount on equipment hire at all Kiloutou branches in France, and a 15% discount on CACES®* training courses.
With this partnership, Kiloutou’s brand signature ‘Rent, Share.’ takes on a new dimension. Kiloutou is establishing itself as a partner in the success of its customers’ projects… and is opening its branches even wider to professionals from all walks of life: pastry chefs setting up their own laboratories, dressmakers fitting out their workshops, restaurateurs, transporters, farmers, shopkeepers and, of course, building tradespeople. These professionals are those who do not have access to traditional financing, but who want to start a business, have ideas and want to take initiatives. Kiloutou is affirming its desire to pave the way for their projects and help them grow.
“Entrepreneurship should never be hindered by the cost of a concrete mixer, scaffolding or a pallet truck. At Adie, we share a common ambition to grow the social and solidarity economy, and we share a set of strong values such as transparency, trust and initiative. Our aim is to support projects at the local level.”
Pierre Knoché, Managing Director Kiloutou France
Why this partnership? Because renting is the sharing economy in action: optimising the use of equipment, reducing heavy start-up investments, equipping customers at their own pace, training them so that, together, we can unleash the power of entrepreneurship.
“Adie helps tens of thousands of people start their own businesses. It turns out that our customers are exactly the ones who need Kiloutou’s services. This partnership provides a concrete response to their needs across the country: a real flagship plan for them!”
Frédéric Lavenir, Chairman of Adie
*Offer valid for one year from 22/09/2025, in all Kiloutou branches in France, for entrepreneurs supported by Adie.
