Grants from the Région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté: what financing for your project?

Discover the grants from the Région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté to create or grow a business, invest, innovate, and finance the transition. Check the schemes and verify the official criteria.

Introduction

The Région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté offers a range of grants and services to businesses, associations, public actors, and project leaders, depending on the scheme. This support can help with business creation or takeover, growth, productive investment, innovation, employment, agricultural and forestry sectors, the ecological transition, or local development. The form of support varies: grant, repayable advance, support, or backing for a collective action.

Which projects can be supported?

The official regional guide covers in particular economic development and business life, agriculture and forestry, energy, the environment, research, digital technology, training, employment, tourism, culture, and regional planning. For SMEs, several schemes target creation, growth, equipment investment, strategic advice, and recruitment. The criteria and eligible sectors differ according to the specific rules of each grant.

Grant or repayable advance: what is the difference?

A grant is generally not intended to be repaid if the scheme's obligations are met. A repayable advance is a sum to be repaid under the planned conditions. Several regional schemes for SMEs take the form of zero-interest repayable advances, sometimes intended to supplement equity contributions and a bank loan. The financing structure, eligible expenses, caps, and repayment obligations must be checked.

Examples of business grants

The "Aide à la création" aims to strengthen the cash position of SMEs creating a business, in the form of a zero-interest repayable advance, within the limits and conditions of its rules. The "Aide à la croissance" supports certain strategic projects. The "Aide à l'investissement matériel" targets investments in production tools. The "Aide au conseil stratégique" supports external advisory services for small businesses meeting the required criteria. These examples are not interchangeable: each fact sheet determines the target audience, sectors, and eligible expenses.

How to search for a grant

Use the official guide to grants and services to filter schemes by area, target audience, and type of support. Then describe the project, its location, legal structure, workforce, timeline, and planned expenses. Before signing a quote or starting expenses, check whether the rules require a prior application. Some schemes are limited by an application deadline or by available budgets.

Regional grants, partners, and European funds

The Région may act together with financial partners or operators, particularly for honour loans, guarantees, equity, or collective schemes. Some operations may also be eligible to draw on European funds. The presence of a grant in the Capital OS reference database under the funder "Région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté" does not, on its own, prove that the Région is the sole funder, the direct operator, or that the scheme is still open. These points must be verified individually.

Preparing the application

Prepare a description of the project, a timeline, quotes, a financing plan, and the required accounting documents. For repayable advances, check in particular the equity, bank financing requirements, and the caps linked to the company's financial situation. For advisory grants, check that the service has not already started if the scheme requires a prior application. The exact documents are specific to each set of rules.

Who can benefit from regional grants?

It depends on the grant: SMEs, cooperative businesses, associations, public bodies, farms, or other project leaders may be concerned depending on the scheme. Regional presence, sector, size, status, and type of project must be checked in the official fact sheet.

Are all of the Région's grants subsidies?

No. They can take the form of grants, repayable advances, advisory services, or support for collective actions. The financial terms and any repayment obligations are specified in each scheme.

Are repayable advances interest-free?

Some of the Région's schemes are presented as zero-interest repayable advances, but this feature does not automatically apply to all grants. You must check the fact sheet and rules of the grant in question.

Can several types of financing be combined?

Combining financing depends on the scheme's rules, State aid regimes, caps, and the project's overall financing. Check the rules on combining aid and declare any other grants received or applied for.

Is a grant listed in Capital OS necessarily open?

No. The Capital OS reference database is used to identify schemes associated with a funder. Whether it is open, application deadlines, criteria, available budget, and the operator must be verified on the corresponding official fact sheet.
