Financing your business with Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations

Discover the forms of funding and schemes associated with the Caisse des Dépôts, then check the manager, the criteria and the terms with official sources.

Introduction

The Caisse des Dépôts is a public financial institution that acts in the general interest and in support of public policy. Its activities notably cover long-term investment, local development, housing, infrastructure and, through its subsidiaries and partners, business funding.

What types of funding might you come across?

Depending on the entity and the project, the instruments may include loans, equity investments, shareholdings, guarantees, schemes managed on behalf of the State, or programmes implemented with partners. Not all of these are grants directly accessible to a business.

What projects might be covered?

The group's activities cover several areas: local economic development, ecological transition, housing and infrastructure, territorial cohesion, the social and solidarity economy, innovation and business support via specialised entities. The scope depends on the operator and the specific scheme.

How do you check a scheme?

Identify the aid and its actual operator. 2. Consult the official page for the programme or financial intermediary. 3. Check the nature of the instrument, the beneficiaries, the area covered, the financial conditions and the timetable. 4. Confirm whether the application is submitted to the CDC, the Banque des Territoires, a subsidiary or a partner.
