Check the declared activity, business size, legal form and establishment address with the funder (Saint-Brieuc Armor Agglomération) before applying.

What the scheme covers
Operations mentioned in the catalogue: equipment and/or property and/or intangible investment, together with a minimum creation of full-time permanent jobs or full-time equivalents over a period of 3 years. In some business takeovers, beyond the support for net additional job creation, the agglomeration may support the jobs taken over (full-time permanent), if this support facilitates the project — for example a takeover ordered by the commercial court or the takeover of a business in difficulty. For each item, prepare a separate quote and ask the managing body to confirm whether it is eligible, how VAT is treated, ancillary costs and any exclusions (second-hand equipment, in-house works, property, leasing or expenditure already aided).
Amount and funding terms
Amount recorded in the catalogue: business creation, setting up or development: a grant of up to €3,000 per job created, increased by an additional €2,000 for hiring people covered by the obligation to employ disabled workers (OETH) or long-term jobseekers (DELD). Business takeovers: support for taking over full-time permanent jobs may take the form of a grant of €1,500 per job taken over. Aid cap: the grant may not exceed €100,000 for industrial businesses, production businesses, services to industry or businesses setting up on a vacant industrial site, and €30,000 for other eligible businesses. In addition, to respect regulatory aid ceilings, the grant must not exceed: for a small business, a maximum rate of 20% of eligible investment made; for a medium-sized business, 10%; for a large company, the de minimis ceiling. These parameters are indicative and should be compared with the rules currently applicable, the size of the business, the expenditure base used and the combination rules. Do not build your financing plan on the indicative amount alone.
