How to identify suitable funding with CCI Charente?

At a glance

CCI Charente offers a clearly identified funding search service for businesses and project leaders. Its official page distinguishes between several solutions: grant search, financial feasibility study, business plan development, the Les-Aides.fr directory, and referral to regional schemes. Some services are free, while a full grant search may be a paid service depending on the deliverable requested. The exact fee and scope must be confirmed before the engagement.

Role and services

The grant search covers in particular investment projects, the development of new markets or products, innovation, competitiveness improvement, and business transfer. The CCI states it can search for partners and funding channels, prepare the required documents, assist with drafting the grant application, and support the process through to the final payment of the grant. The service sheet states a fee starting at €650 for the full study with deliverable and summary; this service is advisory in nature, not a grant paid to the company.

Schemes and levers

CCI Charente also offers a grant search and a financial feasibility study, shown as free on its "Find Funding" page, as well as a paid business plan service starting at a minimum of three hours. Les-Aides.fr lists public and quasi-public schemes. Grants from the Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine can cover a variety of areas, but the criteria and amounts must be checked on the official pages of the specific program.

Preparing the application

To prepare the engagement, define the expenses and the timeline, gather quotes, accounts, the financial forecast and the financing plan, then identify sources already approached. For a public grant, check the funder, the eligible expenses, the cap, the rates, the rules on combining grants, and any requirement to file before starting. For innovation projects, document the novelty, the development stages and the expected results.

Capital OS caution

The cost of an advisory service must not be presented as a grant amount. The information in this profile comes from official CCI pages, but the fee and commercial scope must be revalidated at the time of the request.
