In brief

Local shops and craft businesses
A grant for local shops once existed for small businesses in retail, crafts and services, in rural areas and priority neighbourhoods, requiring a mandatory step through the relevant chamber (Chamber of Commerce and Industry or Chamber of Trades). The sources consulted do not make it possible to confirm whether this scheme remains open in 2026: to be checked directly with the Métropole.
Support for entrepreneurship and networks
The Métropole funds local business clubs every year (for example, Club Gier Entreprises) and has set targets for supporting business creation, with enhanced support for founders.
Key takeaway
Saint-Étienne Métropole acts mainly through support for local shops (via the CCI or Chamber of Trades) and support for business networks. Confirm the current availability of these schemes directly with the Métropole.
