In September 2026, initiatives were launched in the province of Badajoz to support economic continuity in rural municipalities through the ‘Relevo Empresarial’ program.

Initially, the program was introduced to identify viable companies, shops, and services that could undergo succession to prevent closures caused by a lack of retirement or transfer planning. This effort, aligned with the Junta de Extremadura, aims to maintain local services and provide opportunities for new entrepreneurs.

Following this, the Badajoz Chamber of Commerce launched its own version of the ‘Relevo Empresarial’ program. This iteration focuses on providing technical guidance and structured information to both current owners and prospective successors, allowing entrepreneurs to take over established operations with existing customer bases and local knowledge rather than starting from scratch.
