How to identify suitable financing with CCI Hauts-de-Seine?

Summary

CCI Hauts-de-Seine states that it supports entrepreneurs, retailers and business leaders in creating, developing and transforming their activity. Its official page explicitly mentions financing needs: identifying grant schemes, preparing applications, connecting with financial players and providing access to solutions suited to the project's maturity, in particular through dedicated events.

Role and financing services

This offer can serve as an entry point for defining the amount sought, the purpose of the financing, the timeline and the resources already available. Depending on the project, the options may include grants, loans, guarantees, equity, innovation financing or cash-flow solutions. The CCI supports the process and refers applicants to the relevant contacts; it does not guarantee that financing will be awarded. For each scheme, the official rules, the eligible expenses, the caps, the combination rules and the filing conditions must be checked.

Services listed

Identification of grant schemes; preparation of applications; introductions to financial players; events dedicated to financing; support for micro-businesses, SMEs and retailers.

Defining the financing need

Define the need and the timeline: investment, innovation, recruitment, energy transition, business development, export, takeover or cash flow. Prepare quotes, recent accounts, the financial forecast, the financing plan and the resources already available. This preparation helps distinguish a grant from a repayable advance, a loan, a guarantee or advisory support.

Checks before filing

Before incurring any expense, check whether the scheme requires a prior application. Check whether the window is open, the territory covered, the size of the company, the sector, the eligible expenses, the caps and the combination rules. Confirm the criteria with the funder and keep the applicable rules. Also ask the CCI to confirm the content, any fees and the terms of its support.

Does the CCI award grants directly?

The CCI informs, advises and can refer or support the application; the decision to award rests with the body administering the scheme.

When should the CCI be contacted?

As early as possible, ideally before signing a quote or starting to spend.
