Financing your business with Département de la Charente-Maritime

Funder factsheet

Scope / review

Département de la Charente-Maritime

Departmental funder; department 17 of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Distinguish direct aid, co-financing, delegated competence and partner operator.

The Département de la Charente-Maritime publishes an official section on aid and procedures for businesses. The targeted schemes identified notably concern setting up in aquaculture, recent agricultural setting-up, the territorial Fonds Chaleur in partnership with ADEME and film/audiovisual production. Some support also falls under employment integration, notably subsidised contracts and employment integration organisations, with specific rules. Each aid scheme must be presented with its exact target group, its rules and its current status.

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.

Candidates for setting up in aquaculture; farmers set up for less than three years; renewable heat project leads under the territorial contract; authors, directors and audiovisual producers depending on the rules; employers and employment integration organisations depending on their own schemes.

Check legal form, location, sector, size, expenses, status and eligible applicant.

Sector-specific grants (aquaculture, agriculture, audiovisual) and technical/financial support for the territorial Fonds Chaleur with ADEME; employment/integration aid subject to specific conditions. Prêt d'honneur Initiative Charente-Maritime = partner operator, to be distinguished from direct aid from the Département.

Qualify whether it is a grant, an honour loan, engineering support, assistance or co-financing; do not mix up these instruments.

Start from the official "Entreprises" factsheet, open the targeted scheme and check the rules, beneficiaries, expenses, ceilings, timeline and filing before committing. For renewable heat, confirm the scope of the territorial Contrat Chaleur Renouvelable and the ADEME/Département arrangement. For audiovisual, check the call or agreement for the relevant year.

Do not incur expenses before checking the applicable rules and whether starting is authorised.

Single point of contact — Département de la Charente-Maritime, 05 46 31 71 26 / 05 46 31 71 27, guichetunique@charente-maritime.fr (general contact point, notably for local authorities; check the contact for the relevant business scheme).

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

The "Entreprises" page confirms the families of schemes, but conditions and filing windows vary. The Prêt d'honneur Initiative falls under the Initiative network and is not, in itself, a departmental grant.
