French term or phrase: interet de l'operation
Interet de l'operation pour la societe beneficaire des apports.

I can't seem to come up with anything for this other than the literal 'Interest of the operation to the company benefitting from the contribution' Any ideas?

Explanation:

Asker: Thanks. My brain wasn't working well last night, but I couldn't use 'interest'


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  AllegroTrans: I think it just means "the benfit/advantage to the company" - "self interest" deosn't sound right!
