How to identify the right financing with CCI Grenoble?

Summary

CCI Grenoble lists financing solutions and financial grants for businesses. Its official page notably features a zero-interest loan intended to support the creation, takeover or development of a business, as well as support in identifying innovation financing at the regional, national and European levels. The conditions of these offers must be read on their dedicated page before qualifying a business as eligible.

Role and financing services

The zero-interest loan is a lead worth examining for a creation, takeover or development project; no amount, duration or guarantee should be assumed without consulting the product's rules. The support for innovation financing aims to identify mechanisms compatible with the project and its stage of maturity. For each lead, the business leader must specify the need, the financing plan, the planned expenses and the timeline. The CCI can help guide the search, but the final granting of funds depends on the instrument's manager.

Services and schemes mentioned

Zero-interest loan to create, take over or develop a business; access to regional, national and European innovation financing; guidance toward financial aid and grants.

Defining the need before the search

The search for financing should start with a precise, quantified need. For an investment, gather the quotes, the purchase schedule, the financing plan and the return-on-investment assumptions. For an innovation project, describe what is new about it, its progress, the R&D expenses and the milestones. For a hire or a new activity, explain the position, the operational need and the expected impact. These elements help distinguish an investment grant from a loan, a guarantee, employment support or a tax scheme.

Documents and checks to carry out

Before applying, check whether the window is open, which beneficiaries are admitted, the territory covered, the size and age of the business, excluded sectors, eligible expenses, caps and the rules on combining aid. Above all, check whether the application must be submitted before signing a quote, placing an order or starting the work. Prepare the SIRET number, recent accounts, the forecast, the financing plan, quotes and any required certificates. Keep the applicable rules and written exchanges with the funding body.

Does the CCI directly award the grants?

The CCI informs, advises and can help prepare the application. The decision to grant funding belongs to the managing body and depends on its criteria and available budget.

When should you contact the CCI?

As early as possible, ideally before signing a quote or incurring any expense, since some schemes require the application to be submitted beforehand.
