Who can apply
The catalogue identifies the following beneficiaries: SMEs within the current EU definition, registered in the RNE and located in the territory of the Communauté de Communes du Pays Châtillonnais. Large companies may exceptionally be eligible if the project is structuring for the territory (strongly job-creating, significant investment, etc.) and meets European regulations. Eligible sectors: industry; production crafts; business-to-business wholesale, innovative services (digital, IT, etc.); technical services to industry (engineering and design consultancies, logistics); organisations contributing to the area’s tourist appeal other than accommodation; construction. Also eligible: the last essential shop in the municipality (bakery, butcher, grocery, multi-service shop); social and solidarity economy (ESS) businesses in the above sectors; contracted health professions. Where a property holding company (SCI) structure is used, the aid is paid directly to the business occupying the building (subject to its eligibility); the same applies to leasing organisations. Check in particular the size of the business, its legal form (including any SCIs or property holding companies), the sector, the local location and the tax and social security situation.
Eligibility conditions
Conditions available in the catalogue: no additional threshold is sufficiently documented. These elements are not enough to guarantee eligibility. Ask for the up-to-date rules and check the sectoral exclusions, the State aid regime, combination rules, activity maintenance and any employment or environmental obligations.
What the scheme covers
Listed operations: eligible operations: property investment by a business enabling it to develop its activity in the territory of the Communauté de Communes du Pays Châtillonnais — construction or enlargement of industrial, craft or tertiary buildings. Eligible expenditure: construction, acquisition, extension and restructuring of buildings (carried out by a third-party firm with ten-year liability insurance); fees linked to these works (project management, soil study, fluid and structural engineering, etc.), enabling network or road works adjoining the buildings. Not eligible: simple repairs or partial renovation (except after insured damage); self-build; buildings including housing; other acquisition costs (land, businesses, company shares, etc.). Have the accepted expenditure confirmed item by item: acquisition, land, construction, extension, rehabilitation, fees, studies, roads and utilities, equipment or ancillary costs are not necessarily treated in the same way. Expenditure already committed may be excluded if the application must be submitted before the start.
Amount and funding terms
The catalogue indicates a zero-interest advance of 5% of the expenditure base excluding VAT, capped at €50,000, repayable over a maximum of 60 months with a possible deferral. Confirm the combination and eligibility rules. Amount from the catalogue: a repayable advance capped at €50,000, representing 5% of the eligible amount excluding VAT, at zero interest, repayable over a maximum of 60 months with a possible 12-month deferral before repayments start. A 5-year waiting period from the date of award applies before the business can submit a new aid application (unless exceptionally decided otherwise). Where the regional rules are met, the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Region may supplement the Communauté de communes’ aid for the property strand. This scheme is granted under the European de minimis regime, which limits total public aid to €200,000 per business over 3 consecutive financial years. Do not treat this amount as a promise of aid: the eligible expenditure base, rate, caps, co-financing and available budget may change the actual support.
How to apply
1. Contact the local authority’s economic development department to ask for the rules and confirm that the scheme is accepting new applications. 2. Present the location, activity, size of the business, financing plan and timetable. 3. Have the eligible expenditure and combination rules validated. 4. Prepare quotes, plans, company documents, tax and social security certificates, a forecast and a financing plan. 5. Submit the application and wait for written authorisation before signing or starting works if the rules require it.
