Role and financing services

CCI Deux-Sèvres states that it supports industrial, commercial, and service businesses in seeking investments and financing. Its page directs users to a resource for browsing grants relevant to business creation, takeover, development, innovation, and international expansion. The practical value lies in matching the actual project to available schemes, then checking eligibility, timing, and the documents required before filing. The CCI can support the process, but awarding the grant remains the responsibility of the funding body. The CCI highlights centralized access to grants and the possibility of receiving support. Depending on the project, grants, calls for projects, loans, guarantees, repayable advances, and innovation or export support should be examined separately. State schemes and regional calls for projects fall under different channels: confirm the managing authority, the business criteria, and the eligible expenses in each set of rules. Before incurring any expense, check whether the scheme is open, the territory covered, the eligible beneficiaries, the eligible expenses, the caps, whether grants can be combined, and any requirement to file the application before committing to expenses. Prepare the latest financial statements, the forecast, the financing plan, the quotes, and the project timeline.

Defining the financing need

Define the need, the amount, and the timeline: investment, innovation, hiring, energy transition, business development, export, takeover, or cash flow. Prepare quotes, recent financial statements, the forecast, the financing plan, and the resources already available. Distinguish between a grant, a repayable advance, a loan, a guarantee, an equity contribution, and an advisory service.

Does the CCI award grants directly? — As a general rule, the CCI informs, advises, and can help prepare the application. The decision to award funding rests with the scheme's manager, unless a specific mechanism is expressly confirmed.

When should you contact the CCI? — As early as possible, before signing quotes or incurring expenses, to check the application and financing conditions.
