How to identify suitable funding with CCI Toulouse Haute-Garonne?

In brief

CCI Toulouse Haute-Garonne helps businesses secure funding suited to their stage of development. Its official page distinguishes start-up needs from development and innovation needs. The offer includes individual support to search for funding, optimize its structuring and prepare files based on the funding plan drawn up.

Role and funding services

The services published include funding search, building the funding file, a difficulty-prevention diagnostic and AGEFICE support for self-employed executives requesting funding for training. The page states that some services are paid and others are free; each service sheet should be checked to confirm the current conditions. This support does not guarantee that a grant or loan will be obtained: the decision depends on the funder and the file submitted.

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.
