SEO proposal

Discover the referenced grants from Marche et Combraille en Aquitaine for business real estate, micro-businesses, village shops and tourist accommodation.

SEO proposal

The communauté de communes Marche et Combraille en Aquitaine is associated with several local schemes aimed at supporting business investment, business real estate, local micro-businesses, tourist accommodation, and keeping the last remaining shop open in villages. The economic intervention regulation found on the official website describes the principles of several grants and their rates/caps. However, this is an old document: before submitting an application, the version in force must be obtained and it must be confirmed that the scheme is still open, that the budget is available, and that the project falls within the eligible base.

SEO guide

For craft and commercial businesses, service micro-businesses, tourism project leaders, industrial businesses or businesses providing services to industry, social and solidarity economy structures creating jobs, as well as creators/acquirers and certain farming projects. The criteria vary depending on the scheme and may relate to size, municipality, main activity, investment, jobs created and the status of the applicant.

Eligibility

The local authority's economic intervention regulation distinguishes in particular between business real estate, micro-business investment, tourist accommodation, keeping the last village shop open, and structuring real estate projects. The catalogue also links an Initiative Creuse prêt d’honneur. Grants from the communauté de communes must be distinguished from the loan processed by a partner, as well as from any complementary regional or territorial schemes.

Context

The six fact sheets linked to this funder are: business real estate, tourism real estate, micro-business investment, Initiative Creuse prêt d’honneur, last village shop, and structuring real estate investments. The amount benchmarks below come from the catalogue and/or the historical regulation; they must be confirmed in the current regulation before being used in a financing plan.

Catalogue — partial review

For a real estate project, distinguish between preliminary studies (impact, architect) and works or investments. Ask whether the purchase of land, buildings, works, equipment, study costs and second-hand expenses are eligible. Confirm the calculation of the base, the cap of each component, and whether combining the study and investment grants is allowed. The historical regulation mentions a possible combination under conditions, but only the current version is authoritative.

Method

Prepare a list of equipment and works, comparable quotes, proof of the business's size, and accounting documents. Check that the activity is craft, commercial or service-based within the meaning of the scheme, and that the business is being created, transferred, taken over or developed according to the current criteria. Do not automatically apply the business real estate rates to the micro-business grant.

Approach

For a gîte or tourist accommodation, describe the project, the classification or quality level sought, the works, accessibility and the operating commitments. Ask for the list of eligible accommodation categories and the conditions for maintaining the activity. Since the catalogue presents the amount as depending on the project, do not state a guaranteed amount.

Approach

This grant meets a territorial planning objective and aims to maintain local services. Check with the local authority whether the establishment is indeed the last shop in the village, which activities are permitted, whether both creation and takeover are covered, and how the grant combines with regional or LEADER schemes.

Approach

The Initiative Creuse prêt d’honneur is an instrument distinct from a grant: it is awarded after processing and can support a financing plan. Confirm the operator, the amount available, the sector criteria, the status of the applicant and any co-financing conditions. Do not rely on this financing before a formal decision.

Financing

Prepare an RNE extract, proof of location, a presentation of the project, a financing plan, quotes, a forecast, available accounts, social and tax certificates and, where applicable, evidence of job creation or tourism qualification. Ask whether submission must precede any signing of quotes, orders or the start of works. The written decision and the dated regulation take precedence over the catalogue summaries.

Approach

The historical regulation cites several aid regimes and corresponding regional schemes. Check the regime applicable to the business, the combination rules, the intensity caps and the financing already applied for. An inter-municipal cap does not guarantee the total amount of the financing plan and does not replace the authorisations or rules specific to other funders.

Caution

The document identified is a 2022/2023 economic intervention regulation. It helps to understand the historical scheme, but does not prove that the rates, caps or conditions are still the same in October 2026. Ask the local authority for the current version.

FAQ

The historical regulation refers to a possible combination of certain components under conditions. It must be confirmed that this rule still appears in the regulation applicable at the time of submission, and the overall caps and the treatment of the same expenses must be checked.

FAQ

No. The amount in the catalogue is an indicative cap. The award depends on processing by the operator and the scheme's criteria; it must not be presented as a secured grant.

FAQ

Review carried out on 13 October 2026. The official regulation identified is a useful but old institutional source. The six grants have been cross-checked against the catalogue; their current status and parameters remain to be confirmed. Recommended status: partial review, with no unsupported "open" label.

Partial review

To finance a project in Marche et Combraille en Aquitaine, start by identifying the need — real estate, equipment, local retail, tourism or business creation — then have the regulation in force, the territory and the timetable confirmed. Capital OS makes it easier to identify the referenced grants; eligibility and the final amount depend on the decision of the processing body.
