How to search for grants and financing with CCI Saint-Martin — grants and financing?

Role and services

Businesses in Saint-Martin must check the geographic scope of each grant before including financing in their plan. National, regional or European schemes may have specific rules depending on the territory's status, the sector and the nature of the expenses. The application must specify the exact location, the size of the business, the timeline, quotes and any other financing sought. This profile is designed to organize the search and avoid transposing, without verification, the criteria applicable in mainland France. National sources from the CCI network and the les-aides.fr guide can help identify financial and technical grants, but the search must be supplemented with local institutions and managing bodies to confirm which windows are open in Saint-Martin. No local budget line or dedicated grant is claimed in this profile, in the absence of verified current rules. Do not present a mainland grant as eligible without written confirmation. Before any commitment, check the current rules, the territory, beneficiaries, eligible expenses, caps, combination rules and any requirement to file the application before ordering. Prepare recent accounts, the forecast, the financing plan, quotes and the timeline.

Defining the need

Define the amount, purpose and timeline: investment, innovation, transition, recruitment, export, takeover or cash flow. Distinguish between a grant, repayable advance, loan, guarantee, equity and advisory service. Document contributions and funding already obtained to avoid double counting.

Checks before filing

Check geographic eligibility, the up-to-date rules, dates, the size and sector of the business, eligible expenses, caps, combination rules and obligations after payment. Confirm whether the application must precede the order or the start of the project.

Does the CCI award the grant?

The CCI informs, advises and can support the application process. The award decision rests with the scheme's manager, unless a specific mechanism is established.

When should you contact the CCI?

Before any spending commitment, as soon as the need, budget and timeline of the project are defined.
