How to identify suitable financing with CCI La Réunion?

In brief

Businesses in La Réunion can use the CCI network to organize a search for grants based on their project, sector and location. The national offering of CCI France provides for identifying financial levers, checking eligibility and helping to prepare the application. For projects in La Réunion, it is necessary to confirm that each scheme applies to La Réunion and covers the exact nature of the planned expenses.

Role and financing services

Potential solutions may include grants, repayable advances, loans, guarantees, equity financing, cost coverage and tax schemes. The presence of a grant in a catalog is not sufficient to confirm that it is open or that the business is eligible. Check the managing body, territorial criteria, eligible expenses, caps, combination rules and deadlines. The specific services, contacts and programs of CCI Réunion still need to be completed from official local sources before this profile is finally published.

Services and schemes identified

Searching for grants based on the project; referral to public and private schemes; eligibility checks; help putting together the application and connecting with the funder.

Clarifying the need before the search

Start with a quantified need: quotes, timeline, financing plan, available capital contributions and financial projection. For an innovation project, describe the work, the maturity level, the development expenses and the expected results. For a cash-flow difficulty, prepare a recent financial statement, the working capital requirement, deadlines and bank correspondence. This clarification makes it possible to distinguish a grant, a loan, a guarantee, equity and advisory support.

Documents and checks before applying

Before any commitment, check whether the window is open, the eligible beneficiaries, the territory, excluded sectors, eligible expenses, caps and combination rules. Check whether the application must be filed before placing the order, signing the quote or starting the work. Prepare the SIRET number, recent accounts, the financial projection, quotes, the financing plan and any requested certificates. Ask the funder for written confirmation and keep the applicable version of the rules.

Does the CCI pay out grants directly? — The CCI informs, advises and can help put together an application. The decision to grant funding belongs to the scheme's managing body.

When should you contact the CCI? — As early as possible, ideally before signing a quote or starting any spending, as some programs require a prior application.
