Financing your business with Région Occitanie

Discover grants from the Région Occitanie to finance your investments, innovate, hire, accelerate the ecological transition or grow your business. Check the schemes suited to your project.

Introduction

The Région Occitanie offers support schemes for businesses, farms, associations and project leaders, depending on the programme. Grants can take the form of grants, loans, guarantees, repayable advances or support services. The relevant scheme depends in particular on location, sector, the size of the organisation, the nature of the project, and the filing timeline.

Which projects can be supported?

Regional schemes cover a wide range of needs: business creation or takeover, productive investment, industrial development, innovation and research, digital transition, energy efficiency, employment and skills, agriculture and agri-food, tourism, or territorial development.

Grants, loans, guarantees: what are the differences?

A grant is support that generally does not need to be repaid if the conditions are met. A loan must be repaid. A guarantee can make it easier to access credit by sharing part of the risk with a partner organisation. A repayable advance is paid out under a contractual framework and must be repaid according to the scheme's rules. Regional financial tools may also combine public and private funds, so you need to read the terms specific to each grant.

How do I find a grant from the Région Occitanie?

Start by defining the project: location, legal status, headcount, business sector, planned expenses, timeline and funding need. Then check the official regional portal for grants and calls for projects, as well as the Hub Entreprendre Occitanie, which directs businesses towards funding and support. For each scheme, check the opening dates, beneficiaries, eligible expenses, caps, the applicable aid regime, and the organisation reviewing the application.

The Région's financial tools

The Région offers, among other things, financing tools for business creation, takeovers, investment, innovation and equity strengthening. Some schemes rely on partnerships with financial players; they should therefore not be presented as a direct regional grant without verification. The Hub Entreprendre and the official pages make it possible to identify the relevant contact or application channel.

Regional grants and European funds

Some operations may draw on several funding sources, including European funds such as FEDER or FEADER. A grant associated with the Région Occitanie in the database does not, on its own, prove that it is funded exclusively by the Région, that it falls under a specific European fund, or that it is currently open. The funder, the managing authority, the operator and the status must be documented separately.

Steps to prepare your application

Describe the project and its timeline. 2. Check that the organisation and expenses meet the criteria. 3. Gather the quotes, financing plans, accounting records and supporting documents required. 4. Submit the application to the correct channel before making any commitment, if required by the regulations. 5. Keep records of correspondence and comply with monitoring obligations. The rules vary by scheme: the official fact sheet and its regulations are the final authority.

Who can benefit from Région Occitanie grants?

It depends on the scheme. Beneficiaries can include businesses, farms, associations, support structures or local authorities. The legal form, size, sector, location and type of project must be checked in the regulations of the targeted grant.

Are all Région Occitanie grants actually grants?

No. Depending on the programme, support can be a grant, a loan, a guarantee, a repayable advance, an equity stake, or support services. The exact nature of the support must be confirmed in the official documentation.

Can a regional grant be combined with a European or national grant?

Combining aid may be possible, but it depends on the regulations of each scheme, State aid rules and applicable caps. Other sources of funding must be declared, and the combination rules checked before applying.

Where do I submit an application?

The application channel depends on the scheme. The Région provides an official catalogue of grants and calls for projects, as well as a Hub Entreprendre to guide businesses. The official fact sheet must indicate the application channel, the documents to provide, and the filing dates.

Is a grant associated with the Région in Capital OS necessarily open?

No. Being listed in the Capital OS database does not confirm that a call is open, that the conditions are valid, or that a project is eligible. These elements must be checked against the official source of the fact sheet in question.
