Financing a business property operation in the Pays de la Châtaigneraie
The Pays de la Châtaigneraie scheme concerns significant property operations carried by a dedicated legal entity, with expenditure on studies, construction, rehabilitation or extension of an economic building. The document referenced in January 2026 describes a repayable advance and requires a guarantee covering its amount. It is therefore not a grant: repayment capacity and the guarantee are part of the set-up.
Large property operations often require a dedicated holding structure and financing that does not rely solely on a grant. The Pays de la Châtaigneraie lists a scheme in the form of a repayable advance for significant projects to create or extend economic activities. It may be relevant if your set-up includes studies and works, provided you anticipate the repayment and the guarantee required.

Who can apply
The catalogue targets entities carrying property operations, notably SAs, SCIs, SCCVs or SCIAs, when the project enables the creation or extension of craft, retail or industrial activities. The set-up must specify who owns the building, who operates the activity and how cash flows will allow repayment. The exact conditions are those of the local document in force.
Eligibility conditions
Conditions listed: the repayable advance can only be paid on presentation of a risk guarantee covering its full amount (loan insurance, bank guarantee, etc.), which will be attached to the loan agreement. Amount and parameters: the catalogue and the official PDF referenced in January 2026 describe a repayable advance of €45,000 under one or more loans over seven years from the first award. Check the guarantees, beneficiaries, timetable and repayment conditions in the rules. Ask the reviewing department to confirm in writing the expenditure floor, rate and cap, exclusions, combination rules (including de minimis), any waiting period and the expected maintenance of activity or jobs. Any value missing from the catalogue remains to be confirmed and is not estimated here.
What the scheme covers
The expenditure listed covers studies, construction, rehabilitation or extension of a building for economic use; acquisitions of developed or undeveloped land are excluded according to the catalogue. The scheme is presented as a repayable advance: the repayment schedule must therefore be set and any cost of the guarantee included in the financing plan.
Amount and funding terms
The catalogue contains incomplete parameters or parameters still to be confirmed. The applicable rate, floor and cap should be confirmed in writing with the funder before building the financing plan.
How to apply
1. Present the holding entity, the business that will operate the site and the nature of the activity created or extended. 2. Break down studies, construction, rehabilitation and extension, excluding land separately. 3. Have the amount, repayment schedule, accepted guarantees and combination rules confirmed. 4. With Capital OS, test the sustainability of the set-up before submitting the application or making commitments.
