Financing your business with CC du Pays de Chantonnay

Funder fact sheet

Scope / review

CC du Pays de Chantonnay

Inter-municipal funder; summary fact sheet for guidance and matching.

The catalogue links the community to local grants for business creation/takeover, business real estate and environmental investments, as well as a repayable interest-free loan (prêt d’honneur) from the Initiative network. The current official regulations for the four direct grants were not located in the targeted search; the rates in the reference database must therefore remain provisional.

The current status must be confirmed for each grant; inclusion in the catalogue does not prove that it is open or that you are eligible.

Depending on the scheme: local micro-businesses/SMEs, shops, craftspeople, services, industrial or tourism businesses depending on the strand.

Check location, headcount, turnover, business age, legal status, sector and tax/social compliance in each regulation.

Investment grants and, for certain catalogue entries, a partner repayable interest-free loan.

Do not conflate a direct grant with a loan carried by Initiative.

Contact the economic development department, request the most recent regulation and form, then confirm admissibility before any order, signature or start of spending.

Keep proof of the submission date/acknowledgement of receipt; an early start may make the project ineligible.

Contact details / terms to be reconfirmed on the institutional page if published.

No amount is presented as validated without a sufficient source; discrepancies between the master database and the official page are recorded in the individual tracking log.

Partner schemes and schemes whose current regulation could not be found are explicitly flagged.

Initiative Vendée Bocage repayable interest-free loan (prêt d’honneur)

Reference database amount: Repayable interest-free loan with no guarantee required, granted on a personal basis. It generally ranges between €5,000 and €30,000, repayable over a period of 3 to 5 years. The prêt d’honneur is always paired with a bank loan: for every €1 of Initiative prêt d’honneur, an Initiative entrepreneur obtains €9.5 of bank loan on average. The support provided ahead of granting a prêt d’honneur allows the entrepreneur to assess the full extent of their financing needs. | Editorial status: to be confirmed per individual tracking

How do I know if the grant is still open?

Ask the processing department for the regulation in force and the availability of funding; a descriptive page or an old form is not sufficient.

Can I incur expenses before applying?

Do not incur expenses before written confirmation of admissibility and the rules on starting the project.

Are the amounts in the catalogue guaranteed?

No. The amounts shown in the catalogue are reference database values, to be confirmed against the applicable regulation.
