Preparing your approach
Define whether the project is a start-up or a takeover, the status of the person behind it, any unemployment insurance entitlements, the investment needs and the available contribution. Check each scheme separately with France Travail, the Initiative network, the Adie or the tax administration.
Points to watch
The CCI summary page consulted is dated May 2024. Check the current rules, amounts and conditions on official sources before making any decision.
Does the CCI directly fund the project?
In most cases, it informs, guides and supports. The decision rests with the funder of the scheme, unless a mechanism is explicitly confirmed by an official source.
When should conditions be checked?
Before any commitment of expense or any application, with the relevant funder and based on its current regulations.
