Funding the creation or extension of business premises in the Vallespir
The Vallespir scheme concerns the construction, extension or rehabilitation of business premises, as well as the modernisation of vacant buildings for economic use. According to the catalogue, land purchase may be taken into account up to 10% of eligible expenditure. SMEs and mid-sized companies are cited, with specific rules for certain associations or SCIs. The amount depends notably on the size of the business and the aid regime.
Creating, enlarging or bringing premises back into use may be essential to host a new line, improve working conditions or meet rising demand. In the Vallespir, the listed aid targets business property projects and may cover construction, extension or rehabilitation. The key is to show the economic usefulness of the building and check how the funder calculates the support according to the size of the business.
