How to identify suitable financing with CCI Morbihan?

In brief

The Morbihan CCI is a contact to approach in order to structure a search for aid related to business creation, development or investment. The CCI network's offering is designed to identify schemes based on the company's location, sector and planned project. The CCI's role is to advise, guide and help prepare applications; this support should not be confused with a decision to grant aid.

Role and financing services

Grants and financing levers to consider

The types of financing to look into may include grants, repayable advances, loans, guarantees, equity or quasi-equity, cost coverage, and tax or social levers. The criteria are specific to each scheme: company size, location, sector, expenses, timeline, caps and combination rules. The national offering indicates free access to the online search tool and a potentially paid advisor support service. The terms actually applicable in Morbihan must be confirmed before publication or commitment.

Preparing a financing application

Before the meeting, prepare the SIRET number, the business address, the project description, quotes, the latest financial statements, the forecast, the financing plan and the timeline. For each scheme, check the official regulations, the eligible beneficiaries, the eligible expenses, the cap, the combination rules and the date from which expenses can begin. Request written confirmation from the funder before considering aid as secured.

Points to watch

The presence of a scheme in a search engine does not mean that the window is open or that the company is eligible. Aid is granted by its managing bodies and may be subject to budget caps, timelines, State aid rules and supporting document requirements. CCI service fees must be confirmed locally.

Does the CCI pay out aid directly? — As a general rule, the CCI informs, advises and guides. The granting of aid depends on the funder and the regulations of the identified scheme.

How can I find the aid suited to my company? — Define the project, its location, the expenses and the timeline, then use the CCI network's official resources and have eligibility confirmed by the funder.

Defining the need before searching

The search should start from a quantified need rather than a general request for aid. For a capital investment, gather detailed quotes, the order and delivery timeline, the financing plan and the self-financing capacity. For an energy or digital transition, describe the starting situation, the expected gains, the equipment or services involved and the outcome indicators. For a business creation or acquisition, formalize the initial need, the cash-flow forecast and the funds that can be mobilized. This process helps distinguish between investment grants, loans, guarantees, tax schemes and private financing. It also helps identify expenses already committed that could make a grant ineligible.

Practical steps and documents to check

Before submitting an application, check whether the scheme is open and whether the application must be submitted before signing a quote, placing an order or starting work. Also check the accepted legal status, the company's age, the covered territory, excluded sectors, expense thresholds and requirements to maintain activity or employment. Prepare a consistent file: registration extract, annual financial statements, interim statement if necessary, bank details (RIB), tax and social certificates, quotes, financing plan and timeline. In the case of co-financing, make sure the aid can be combined and that the same cost is not financed twice beyond the authorized limits. Keep copies of the regulations and written exchanges with the funder.
