How to identify suitable funding with CCI Martinique?

In brief

CCI can help businesses in Martinique find funding suited to their project and identify the relevant bodies. The CCI network's national offering describes a method based on location, sector and the nature of expenses, with an eligibility check and support for the application. For a project in Martinique, the first step is to confirm that the programme covers businesses and expenses located within the territory.

Role and funding services

The levers to consider may include grants, repayable advances, loans, guarantees, equity or quasi-equity, coverage of certain costs, and tax measures. Conditions vary depending on the funder and may include caps, combination rules, and an obligation to apply before the project begins. Local or regional schemes must be sourced from the official pages of CCI Martinique, the Collectivité territoriale, the State, or the relevant operators. Do not present a grant as open without checking its date and rules.

Services and schemes identified

Funding search tailored to the need; referral to public and private aid; eligibility checking; support for preparing applications and introductions to funders.

Qualifying the need before searching

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

Documents and checks before applying

Before any commitment, check whether the scheme is open, admitted beneficiaries, the territory, excluded sectors, eligible expenses, caps and combination rules. Check whether the application must precede the order, the signing of the quotation or the start of work. Prepare the SIRET number, recent accounts, the financial projection, quotations, the funding plan and any certificates requested. Ask the funder for written confirmation and keep the version of the rules that applied.

Does CCI pay out the aid directly? — CCI informs, advises, and can help put together an application. The decision to award rests with the body administering the scheme.

When should you contact CCI? — As early as possible, ideally before signing a quotation or starting any spending, since some programmes require an application to be submitted beforehand.
