Financing your business with Département de la Corrèze

Funder factsheet

Scope / review

Département de la Corrèze

Departmental funder; department 19 of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Distinguish direct aid, co-financing, delegated competence and partner operator.

The Département de la Corrèze officially states that, since the NOTRe law, it no longer offers general aid for business creation or development. Economic aid falls primarily under the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region and the EPCIs. Exceptions and targeted interventions exist: regional co-financing of certain livestock investments, tourism actions and engineering support for projects run by municipalities or groupings. The funder factsheet must therefore avoid giving the impression of a general departmental scheme for businesses.

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.

For targeted agricultural aid: livestock farms depending on the regional scheme and the applicable co-financing. For tourism engineering: municipalities and groupings of municipalities. For territorial aid: local authorities and public project owners according to the departmental guide. Ordinary businesses must first be directed towards the Region and the EPCI.

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

No general direct aid for business creation/development according to the official territorial support page. Targeted agricultural aid and co-financing of regional schemes to be checked; free or quote-based engineering via Corrèze Tourisme for public tourism facilities; aid for municipalities distinct from aid for businesses.

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

First determine whether the applicant is a business, a farm or a local authority. For an ordinary business, look for the Nouvelle-Aquitaine scheme or that of the relevant EPCI. For livestock farming, consult the departmental agricultural factsheet and the corresponding regional scheme. For public tourism facilities, contact Corrèze Tourisme for engineering and financial structuring.

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.

Key compliance point: the official page explicitly states that the Département has no longer granted general aid for business creation or development since 2015. Do not report Initiative Corrèze loans or regional aid as direct departmental aid. The delegation of tourism property aid must be checked EPCI by EPCI and project by project.
