The Communauté de Communes des Portes du Haut-Doubs (CCPHD), in the Doubs department, is linked in the Capital OS database to six schemes concerning business real estate investment and tourist accommodation. These entries cover different types of projects: work on or acquisition of business premises, furnished tourist rentals, bed and breakfasts, group accommodation, hotels and outdoor hospitality (campsites).

Overview of the catalogue scope; does not constitute confirmation that the scheme is open

Business real estate grants: the specialized fact sheets consulted describe assistance that may take the form of a grant or a discount on the sale price. The grant is awarded up to 5% of eligible expenses excl. VAT, capped at €5,000. The application must be filed before the project is committed to. These parameters come from secondary sources and must be confirmed with the CCPHD before being presented as current conditions.

Secondary sources: direct official verification still needed

The specialized sources mainly describe SMEs established or planning to establish themselves within the territory, registered with the appropriate register, in sectors such as industry, production crafts, innovative services, logistics, or certain activities linked to tourism and short supply chains. They mention exclusions, in particular micro-businesses/sole traders, retail and liberal professions, as well as certain agricultural activities except direct sales. The exact scope depends on the applicable regulations: do not draw conclusions based on this summary alone.

Secondary summary to be revalidated

The fact sheets consulted mention construction, acquisition, extension or renovation operations for business premises, with exclusions such as land, self-build work, and simple repair work without thermal improvement. The work must meet the requirements set out by the scheme, in particular the use of contractors covered by ten-year (décennale) insurance where required.

Secondary summary to be revalidated

Four entries in the database concern furnished tourist rentals, bed and breakfasts, group accommodation, hotels, and outdoor hospitality/innovative accommodation. The details of expenses, rates, caps, required classifications, marketing obligations or operating conditions have not been confirmed by a current official source during this review. These entries should be treated as leads to be qualified, not as guaranteed open funding.

Associated catalogue — current conditions not confirmed

Before placing any order, signing a quote or starting work: 1) contact the CCPHD's economic development department via the institutional website; 2) request the intervention regulations and the current form for the specific grant; 3) have the eligibility of the applicant, sector, location and operation confirmed; 4) have the admissible filing date and the combination rules confirmed; 5) keep the written confirmation and file a complete application before committing, if the regulations require it.

Cautious approach

To be confirmed with the processing officer, but generally prepare: a presentation of the business and the project, a registration extract, proof of establishment or planned establishment, non-committed detailed quotes, a financing plan, accounts or financial information, a certificate of tax and social security standing, a bank account statement, and a record of public grants received. For tourist accommodation, also prepare operating documents, classification or labelling certificates if required by the regulations.

Indicative list — not exhaustive

Do not assume that this can be combined with regional, departmental or national grants. Check the applicable European framework, the public grant caps, the expense basis used, and the eligibility date for expenses. No filing deadline or remaining 2026 budget has been confirmed in any current official source consulted here.

To be confirmed on a case-by-case basis

No. The six entries appear in the database, but this does not demonstrate that they are all open today. The real estate grant is documented by recent specialized fact sheets, while the four tourism schemes and their terms must be confirmed with the CCPHD.

Cautious answer

For the real estate grant, the fact sheets consulted indicate that the application must be made before the project is committed to. As a precaution, do not commit any expenses before obtaining written confirmation of the rules and the admissible filing date.

Secondary source to be officially confirmed

The fact sheets consulted indicate a grant of 5% of eligible expenses excl. VAT, capped at €5,000, or a discount on the sale price depending on the structure. The amount actually awarded depends on the expense basis used, the local authority's decision, and the funds available.

Secondary parameters — official validation required

The CCPHD's institutional website is the starting point for finding the contact details of the relevant department and requesting the up-to-date regulations and forms. The exact link to an official page dedicated to grants has not been validated in this review.
