How to identify the right financing with CCI Val-d’Oise?

Summary

CCI Val-d’Oise is the departmental chamber of the CCI Paris Île-de-France network for businesses based in the Val-d’Oise (95).

Role and financing services

This article describes the network's role as an entry point and does not claim that a fund specific to the Val-d’Oise is currently open. The financing options to examine depend on the project: investment, innovation, recruitment, transition, business development or cash-flow strain. The available grants, advances, loans, guarantees and private financing should be compared, then the criteria, eligible expenses, caps, combining rules and deadlines should be verified with the managing body. Local services and their fees must be confirmed with the departmental CCI.

Services identified

Local support; referral to CCI Paris Île-de-France services; support for start-up, development and transformation projects; referral to suitable financial resources.

Defining the financing need

Define the need and the timeline: investment, innovation, recruitment, energy transition, business development, exporting, a takeover or cash flow. Prepare quotes, recent accounts, financial forecasts, the financing plan and resources already available. This preparation helps distinguish a grant from a repayable advance, a loan, a guarantee or advisory support.

Checks before applying

Before incurring any expense, check whether the scheme requires an application to be submitted beforehand. Check whether the scheme is open, the territory covered, the size of the business, the sector, the eligible expenses, the caps and the rules on combining aid. Confirm the criteria with the funder and keep the applicable rules on file. Also ask the CCI to confirm the content, any fees and the terms of its support.

Does the CCI award grants directly?

The CCI informs, advises and can refer or support the application; the decision to award funding rests with the body managing the scheme.

When to contact the CCI?

As early as possible, ideally before signing a quote or starting to spend.
