How to identify the right financing with CCI Portes de Normandie?

Summary

CCI Portes de Normandie provides access to Les-Aides.fr, an information database designed to help businesses identify financial aid based on their location, maturity and project. The local page states that the tool allows users to consult scheme profiles and identify the right contact for support. The offer covers both start-ups and businesses already operating in the Eure and Orne departments covered by the CCI.

Role and financing services

The database lists public and private grants and supplements the search with calls for projects and competitions. The page states that the service is covered by the CCI and/or chargeable depending on the option chosen; the terms of the desired support must therefore be checked. A profile in the database is a starting point, not confirmation of eligibility or availability. Before applying, consult the funder's rules, the territorial criteria, the eligible expenses, the caps, the combination rules and the deadlines.

Services and schemes identified

Access to Les-Aides.fr; search for public and private grants; detailed scheme profiles; calls for projects and competitions; referral to an advisor in the Eure or Orne.

Defining the need before searching

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

Documents and checks before submission

Before any commitment, check whether the scheme is open, the eligible beneficiaries, the territory, the excluded sectors, the eligible expenses, the caps and the combination rules. Check whether the application must be submitted before the order, the signing of the quote or the start of the work. Prepare the SIRET number, recent accounts, the financial forecast, the quotes, the financing plan and the required 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 award decision rests with the scheme's managing body.

When should you contact the CCI?

As early as possible, ideally before signing a quote or starting any expenditure, as some programmes require a prior application.
