Verification status

Partial verification: the 2024-2028 grant scheme is confirmed by the local authority; the rates and rules for each grant still need to be rechecked against the current booklet.

A local scheme designed for investment and transitions

The communauté de communes has defined a set of intervention rules in line with regional guidelines. The stated objective is to help small and medium-sized businesses invest, modernize, and grow their production capacity. The application is reviewed by an award committee; submitting it therefore does not guarantee a grant. Before placing any order, check the eligible expenses, the timeline, and the documents to provide.

Which sectors are given priority?

The official page notably cites agro-viticulture, building and construction trades, tourism stakeholders, as well as local shops and services. Other catalog entries target energy transition projects, the circular economy, corporate social and environmental responsibility, or collaborative work. Being in a priority sector is not enough to make a business eligible: each scheme has its own specific scope.

How does the award process work?

The scheme is based on a set of intervention rules and practical fact sheets gathered in a booklet. The local authority invites businesses to request an appointment to review their project. Compliant applications are reviewed by a committee, which sets the grant amount. A distinction must therefore be made between the maximum amount shown on a fact sheet and the grant actually awarded for a given application.

Choosing the right scheme

Match the project to an entry in the booklet and verify that the business operates in the territory of the Créonnais.

Requesting an appointment

The local authority offers contact with the economic development department to discuss the project and the procedure.

Getting expenses validated

Confirm the investment thresholds, rates, caps, any bonuses, eligibility dates, and exclusions before placing any order.

Putting together the application

Prepare the business’s supporting documents, the project description, quotes, the financing plan, and the certificates required under the rules.

Points of caution

The thirteen grants are not all aimed at the same beneficiaries. Some target local shops, others tourism stakeholders, groups of professionals, building trade businesses, or transition projects. The caps and rates in the master database are not a guarantee: only the committee’s decision is final. Declare any other funding obtained or requested for the same expenses.

Is the grant scheme still planned for 2026?

The local authority states that the agreement with the Region covers the 2024-2028 period. This does not automatically confirm that every line in the catalog is open and funded at the time of application.

Are the amounts in the catalog guaranteed?

No. These are reference caps or parameters; the committee reviews the application and sets the final amount, if any.

Can an appointment be requested before submitting the application?

Yes. The official page invites businesses to contact the economic development department to get information and an appointment.

Where can the official booklet be found?

Check the official “Aide aux entreprises” page and its booklet, then verify that you have the most recent version.

Sources and limits of verification

The official page of the Communauté de communes confirms an intervention scheme with the Region for 2024-2028 and links to a grants booklet. The Economic Development page describes the award committee and provides the department’s contact details. The detailed parameters of the thirteen grants must be verified in the current version of the booklet before any final publication.
