How to identify suitable financing with CCI Allier?

In brief

CCI Allier supports businesses and project leaders in seeking financing to start, take over, invest in or develop an activity. Its offering covers identifying aid based on the SIRET, analyzing the need, guidance toward funders and support in building the application file. CCI also presents resources dedicated to energy transition, investments and prevention of difficulties. These services must be distinguished from the aid itself: CCI advises and guides, while financing is decided by the organization managing the scheme.

Role and services

The official “Financement” page describes a tailored study of financing sources: identifying schemes based on location and sector, checking eligibility based on the SIRET, identifying the procedures for putting together the file, and looking for alternative financing. The support may cover grants, repayable advances, preferential-rate loans, tax or social exemptions and private solutions. The exact service, its cost and its scope must be confirmed before starting.

Schemes and levers

CCI Allier also references resources on energy transition aid: frugality diagnostics, investment aid, the regional energy loan, energy saving certificates, ADEME aid and the green loan. These schemes are not interchangeable and their operators differ.

Preparing the file

Prepare the SIRET, the municipality of the establishment, a description of the project, quotes, recent financial statements, projections and the financing plan. Check headcount, sector, eligible expenses, the cap, the rate, the rules on combining aid, and the need to submit before placing any order. For an energy project, add current consumption, the diagnostic and expected savings. For a start-up or takeover, prepare the business plan and, where applicable, the takeover target.

Capital OS caution

The financing page indicates a support capacity, but does not mean that every company can obtain a grant. The energy schemes mentioned must be linked to their own official fact sheets, with opening status and dated conditions.
