How to identify suitable funding with CCI Tarn-et-Garonne?

In brief

CCI Tarn-et-Garonne highlights Les-Aides.fr, a search platform that helps entrepreneurs identify financial aid suited to their location, sector and project. The official page presents the tool as a way to access an overview of the schemes and a first level of information on their terms, as well as the calls for projects and competitions available in the region.

Role and funding services

The search can be used to prepare a conversation with an advisor and to identify the bodies to contact. It does not replace checking the official rules: a scheme may be closed, limited to certain sectors or subject to specific expenses. For each result, note the operator, the nature of the aid, the territory, the beneficiaries, the eligible expenses, the caps, the rules on combining aid and the filing date. The CCI is an entry point for research and referral; it is not necessarily the body that awards the funding.

Qualifying the need before searching

Start with a quantified need: quotes, timeline, funding plan, available capital and financial 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 the exchanges with the bank. This qualification helps distinguish a grant, a loan, a guarantee, equity and advisory support.

Documents and checks before filing

Before making any commitment, check whether the application window is open, the accepted beneficiaries, the territory, excluded sectors, eligible expenses, caps and rules on combining aid. Check whether the application must be filed before placing the order, signing the quote or starting the work. Prepare the SIRET number, recent accounts, the financial forecast, quotes, the funding plan and the requested certificates. Ask the funder for written confirmation and keep the version of the applicable rules.

Does the CCI pay out grants directly? — The CCI informs, advises and can help put together a file. The award decision belongs to the body managing the scheme.

When should you contact the CCI? — As early as possible, ideally before signing a quote or starting any expenses, since some programs require filing an application beforehand.
