Scope / review
Département de la Charente
Departmental funder; department 16 of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Distinguish direct aid, co-financing, delegated competence and partner operator.
The Département de la Charente is mainly active in social welfare, employment integration, territorial appeal and certain sector-specific schemes. The official sources consulted do not establish general departmental investment aid for all businesses. The Prêt d'honneur Initiative Charente is referenced in the catalogue but is run by a partner operator: it should not be presented as a direct grant from the Département.
The presence of a scheme in the catalogue proves neither that it is open, nor its eligibility, nor that it is attributed to the Département.
Project leads and businesses depending on the partner or sector-specific scheme; farmers in difficulty for multi-stakeholder support schemes; beneficiaries of employment integration schemes according to their own criteria.
Check legal form, location, sector, size, expenses, status and eligible applicant.
Prêt d'honneur Initiative Charente (partner operator, zero-interest financing to be qualified according to the current offer); REAGIR support for farms in difficulty; PAC/DNJA agricultural aid provided by the State, the Region and European funds, not by the Département alone.
Qualify whether it is a grant, an honour loan, engineering support, assistance or co-financing; do not mix up these instruments.
Qualify the need and the aid applicant before stating an amount: for business creation/takeover, check Initiative Charente; for agricultural setting-up, consult the regional/FEADER scheme and the DDT; for a farm in difficulty, contact the REAGIR unit.
Do not incur expenses before checking the applicable rules and whether starting is authorised.

Reconfirm the contact details on the official factsheet of the scheme in question.
