How to identify suitable financing with CCI Loiret?

Summary

CCI Loiret presents several financing-related solutions, from grant research to application structuring. Its catalog includes support for identifying available grants and financing, a search service for investment aid schemes, and an application structuring service. The CCI states it can help businesses finance a development or modernization project, including productive investment or an innovative project.

Role and financing services

For a business that has already identified a scheme, the application structuring service includes an eligibility check, help gathering documents, and formatting the application. The official page consulted shows a price of €680 excl. VAT, i.e. €816 incl. VAT, for this service; the price must be verified at the time of ordering. The CCI also lists the Loiret departmental revitalization fund, the ARDAN scheme and the Initiative Loiret honor loan. These mechanisms have distinct managing bodies, criteria and objectives: they must not be merged into a single aid category.

Schemes and services mentioned

Search for investment aid schemes; application structuring for aid; support for identifying available financing; referral to Les-Aides.fr; Loiret departmental revitalization fund; ARDAN; Initiative Loiret honor loan.

Qualifying the need before the search

Financing research should start with a precise, quantified need. For an investment, gather quotes, the purchase timeline, the financing plan and return-on-investment assumptions. For an innovation project, describe the novel aspect, the stage of progress, R&D expenses and milestones. For a hire or a new activity, explain the role, 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 filing, check that the scheme is open, the eligible beneficiaries, the territory covered, the size and age of the business, excluded sectors, eligible expenses, caps and cumulation rules. Above all, check whether the application must be filed before signing a quote, placing an order or starting work. Prepare the SIRET number, recent accounts, the forecast, the financing plan, quotes and the requested certificates. Keep the applicable regulations 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 award belongs to the managing body and depends on its criteria and available funding.

When should you contact the CCI?

As early as possible, ideally before signing a quote or incurring an expense, as some schemes require filing beforehand.
