How to identify the right financing with CCI Yonne?

Summary

CCI Bourgogne-Franche-Comté states that it supports project leaders in drawing up financial forecasts and finding financing to start or take over a business. CCI Yonne is one of the territorial chambers within the regional network. This entry point helps frame the need and look for financing suited to the project, then confirm the terms with the territorial chamber.

Role and financing services

Depending on the nature of the project, the search may cover personal contributions, bank loans, honour loans, guarantees, grants or other resources. The terms, total cost, collateral, timeline and repayment obligations should be compared. For public grants, check whether the scheme is open, the territory covered, eligible expenses, caps and combining rules. The regional page does not describe a financing scheme specific to the Yonne: local offers and their fees remain to be confirmed on CCI Yonne's official pages.

Services and schemes identified

Preparing the financial forecast; searching for financing for a start-up or takeover; referral to the local CCI and relevant financing schemes.

Defining the financing need

First define the need and its timeline: equipment investment, business development, innovation, recruitment, energy transition, a takeover or a cash-flow need. Prepare quotes, the financing plan, personal contributions, recent accounts and the financial forecast. These elements help distinguish a grant, a repayable advance, a loan, a guarantee or advisory services.

Checks before applying

Before placing any order or 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, eligible expenses, caps, combining rules and the required documents. Confirm the terms directly with the funder and keep the version of the rules used to prepare the application.

Does the CCI award grants directly?

The CCI informs, advises and supports the process; the decision to award funding rests with the body managing the scheme.

When should you contact the CCI?

As early as possible, ideally before signing a quote or starting to spend, as some schemes require a prior application.
