Financing your business with the State

Identify public schemes that can support your business: grants, loans, guarantees, tax aid and targeted measures. Check the official criteria.

Introduction

The State supports businesses through various instruments: calls for projects, grants, advances, loans and guarantees, tax credits or exemptions, and targeted measures. These schemes are often operated by ministries, agencies, public operators or partner networks. It is therefore necessary to identify the managing body and the rules specific to each grant.

What types of support should you look for?

Depending on the project and the beneficiary, support may cover innovation, investment, employment, ecological transition, business creation or takeover, cultural sectors or territorial needs. The form of support may be a grant, a loan, a guarantee, a tax advantage or support services; these instruments are not interchangeable.

Who can be concerned?

The criteria depend on the grant: company size, sector, location, planned expenses, financial situation, timetable, nature of the project, and cumulation rules. Some grants are accessed via calls for projects, others through an operator or a tax/social procedure.

How do you check a grant?

  1. Identify the exact scheme and its managing body. 2. Consult the official sheet and the regulation in force. 3. Check the opening dates, the deadline, eligible expenses and cumulation rules. 4. Confirm whether the application must be filed before the project starts. 5. Keep the supporting documents and the official decision.

How can Capital OS help?

Capital OS can match a company's profile, needs and territory against the schemes recorded. The results are leads to verify and do not constitute a decision by a public body, confirmation of eligibility, or a guarantee of funding.

FAQ

Does the State pay out all grants directly? No: many schemes are processed or paid out by operators or partners. Is public aid always a grant? No: it can take the form of a loan, a guarantee, a tax advantage or a relief. Does being listed in a catalogue confirm that the scheme is open? No, the timetable and official conditions must be checked.
