Communauté de communes du Grand Saint-Émilionnais

A local economic grant scheme

The Communauté de communes du Grand Saint-Émilionnais offers economic grants to businesses and project leaders in its area. The schemes are organised around major objectives: energy transition, innovation and digital transformation, creation/takeover/transfer, short supply chains, tourist and seasonal accommodation, health and business property. Grants are subject to the rules and available funding.

Why check the scheme before applying?

The Capital OS catalogue fact sheets list nine grants associated with funder ID 2171. The official page of the communauté de communes presents a broader overview, including in particular grants linked to local food supply chains and agricultural creation/takeover that do not appear among these nine entries. The scope of this batch must therefore be distinguished from the local authority's full catalogue.

Energy transition and property

The listed schemes can support certain property investments, energy renovation and the energy competitiveness of small businesses. The scope is precise: depending on the grant, the business may need to own its building, be located outside a centrality area defined by the commercial development plan, and meet tax, social and regulatory conditions. Rates and ceilings must be confirmed in the current fact sheet.

Digital innovation and health

Two separate grants concern digital innovation: one targets businesses with fewer than ten employees under industrial robotics NAF codes and can support the purchase of robotic equipment or patent filing; the other supports pooled digital innovation and collaborative practice projects led by healthcare professionals in the area, in connection with the ARS (regional health agency).

Creation, takeover and accommodation

The creation or takeover of small businesses and modernisation after a takeover target professional investments, with the creation or retention of a job for creation/takeover. Grants for seasonal worker accommodation and social tourism target structures that meet specific accommodation needs and ownership/status criteria.

Property investment grant

The reference database indicates a grant of 30% of eligible expenses, capped at €75,000, for certain small businesses that own their building and are located outside the centrality area defined by the DAACL. Conditions on activity, tax and social compliance, insurance and regulatory conformity must be checked.

Seasonal worker accommodation grant

The reference database indicates a grant of 10%, capped at €10,000, for businesses with fewer than ten employees that directly employ seasonal workers and own the building concerned. Confirm the eligible type of work, the current rules and the deadline before incurring expenses.

Digital innovation grant

For businesses with fewer than ten employees under certain machine manufacturing NAF codes, the reference database indicates 10% of eligible expenses capped at €20,000 for robotic equipment, and 50% capped at €3,000 for certain French or European patent costs.

Business energy competitiveness grant

The reference database indicates a grant of 10%, capped at €10,000, for certain energy transition expenses of small businesses registered in the RNE or agricultural businesses. Eligible equipment and installer qualification requirements must be checked in the current fact sheet.

Business creation or takeover grant

The reference database indicates a grant of 20%, capped at €10,000, for the purchase of equipment needed for production, with the creation or retention of a full-time equivalent job (excluding the director) within two years. Check the current exclusions and closing date.

Business modernisation and transformation grant after takeover

The reference database indicates a grant of 20%, capped at €10,000, for small businesses taken over less than two years ago, to modernise their activity. Expenses must match the rules, and eligibility criteria must be confirmed.

Digital transformation grant for businesses

The reference database and France Num indicate a grant of up to 80% of digital support expenses, capped at €200. The scheme is shown as available until 1 December 2027 in the France Num fact sheet updated in September 2026; confirm the state of funding with the local authority.

Social tourism accommodation grant

The reference database indicates a grant of 30%, capped at €175,000, for businesses or associations with a social accommodation mission that operate certain tourist facilities. Ownership, status and compliance criteria must be checked in the rules.

Digital innovation and collaborative practices grant for healthcare professionals

The France Num fact sheet indicates a grant that can cover 100% of eligible expenses, capped at €20,000, for healthcare professionals associated in a pooled tools project in connection with the ARS. It is shown as available until 1 December 2027; confirm the rules and funding.

Application steps

1. Define the project, expenses and timetable. 2. Check the location of the establishment and sector criteria. 3. Download the form, the rules and the commitment charter from the communauté de communes' website. 4. Prepare quotes, the financing plan, proof of registration, financial information and, depending on the scheme, energy diagnostics or sector-specific documents. 5. Request written confirmation of eligibility and the authorised date for incurring expenses.

Do not incur expenses without confirmation

Local public grants may require a prior application and a decision before work begins or equipment is ordered. Do not sign quotes or start incurring expenses until the applicable rules and the local authority's approval have been confirmed in writing.

Institutional contact

The official page of economic grants gives the contact deveco@grand-st-emilionnais.org and the details of the economic development department. Ask for the current form, the rules of the targeted grant, the deadlines and the level of funding still available.

Are the grants still open?

Some France Num fact sheets indicate a closing date of 1 December 2027, but this does not guarantee that funds are still available. The local authority states that awards depend on its budgetary capacity and that it reserves the right not to grant support.

Does the ceiling correspond to the amount automatically awarded?

No. It is a maximum, subject to the funding rate, the expenses accepted, compliance with the criteria and the local authority's decision.

Are all of the local authority's grants included in this guide?

No. This batch covers the nine fact sheets present in the master database for this funder. The institutional page describes other schemes; the catalogue must be cross-checked against this list to complete coverage.

Check my eligibility for local grants

Capital OS helps identify schemes and prepare initial checks. Before applying, confirm with the economic department the current rules, the closing date, the funds available, the eligible expenses and the absence of any premature commitment.

Verification status

Good-level partial review: nine grants from the master database identified and cross-checked against the institutional page and the public France Num / Aide Publique Entreprise fact sheets. The official page also sets out other schemes not included in this batch. Cumulation rules, funding and dates must be confirmed with the local authority.
