Role of the CCI and needs covered

The CCI's first role is to qualify the project and refer the business to the right contacts. For a start-up or business transfer, prepare the business plan, the financing plan, the cash flow needs and the contributions. For an investment, detail the expenses, the quotes, the timeline and the expected gains. For a digital or environmental transition, describe the starting situation, the solution envisaged and the measurable results. The services offered and their cost must be confirmed with the relevant CCI.

Associated schemes and financing

The aid associated in the reference database is: Prêt d'honneur Croissance Initiactive 95-78. The name refers to a specialised territorial operator. The role of the regional CCI in this scheme must be confirmed, and the deciding operator should be favoured as the funder if necessary. Before presenting any of these items as aid that can be mobilised, it is necessary to check the primary source of the scheme, the role of each party, the beneficiaries, the eligible expenses, the rates or caps, the submission dates and the combination rules. If the scheme is an honour loan, it is repayable financing and not a grant; the body that processes and decides must be explicitly identified.

How to prepare the application

To secure a financing search, proceed in this order: 1) confirm the location of the business and the territory covered; 2) describe the project, its timeline and the expenses envisaged; 3) identify the operator that actually grants the aid; 4) request the rules in force and check the opening dates; 5) confirm whether submission must precede any signed quote, order or start of work; 6) check the caps, combination with other public aid and the required supporting documents. Keep written confirmation of the key points before committing to any spending.

Point to watch for Capital OS

For Capital OS, data quality depends on distinguishing between four roles: the funder providing the funds, the managing authority, the body processing applications and the support structure. A CCI may play several roles or be a partner, but this is not automatic. Regional CCI; to be distinguished from territorial CCIs and local honour loan operators. This distinction avoids overestimating a funder's coverage and improves matching relevance based on location, sector and project stage.

Frequently asked questions

Does the CCI pay the aid directly? Not necessarily: this must be established from the operator's rules or official page.

Is the aid still open? The catalogue alone is not enough to confirm this; check the current timeline.

Can I commit to spending before submission? Do not assume so: the rules vary depending on the scheme and must be confirmed in writing.

What should be prepared for a first conversation? A project summary, the SIRET number, the forecast budget, the available quotes, the timeline and any other financing sought.
