How can CCI Versailles-Yvelines help identify suitable financing?

In brief

CCI Versailles-Yvelines is the departmental point of contact for the CCI Paris Île-de-France network for businesses in the Yvelines. It is part of a network that supports businesses with their start-up, development and transformation projects. For a project requiring financing, the first step is to formalize the expenses, timeline, amount sought and resources already available in order to direct the request to the right contact.

Role and financing services

The levers to consider vary depending on the project: bank loan, guarantee, interest-free honor loan, grant, repayable advance, equity or tax relief. This fact sheet does not claim to establish the existence of a specific local fund; current schemes should be verified with the CCI and the managing organizations. Applications for public financing generally require a prior check of eligibility, eligible expenses, the cap, combination rules and the authorized start date.

Listed services

Support for businesses in the Yvelines; referral to the services of the CCI Paris Île-de-France network; advice and introductions depending on the project.

Defining the financing need

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

Does the CCI award the aid directly? — The CCI informs, advises and can refer or support the application; the decision to grant the aid belongs to the scheme's managing body.

When should you contact the CCI? — As early as possible, ideally before signing a quote or incurring any expenses.
