Business Property Investment Support
The Vosges scheme supports certain property investment by businesses with fewer than 50 employees meeting the economic thresholds indicated in the catalogue. Operations may concern the construction, extension, fit-out or renovation of a building and certain technical costs. The scale listed provides for a cap of €10,000 for eligible investment below €150,000 excluding VAT and €50,000 from €150,000 excluding VAT, with possible exceptions. The rules in force should confirm the territories covered, how the base is calculated and how to apply.
A property investment of €150,000 excluding VAT or more is not financed like a small fit-out of premises. In the Vosges, the scheme listed provides for different caps depending on the amount of investment, with the possibility of greater support in certain exceptional cases. It may concern the construction, extension, fit-out or renovation of a professional building, as well as certain technical fees. To find out whether your project falls into the right band, first check the territory covered and the definition of eligible investment.

Profiles mentioned in the catalogue: eligible organisations: businesses with fewer than 50 employees and turnover or balance sheet below €10 million, registered in the RNE. Not eligible: businesses in difficulty; micro-entrepreneurs; liberal professions. Eligible sectors: industry. To check before applying: legal status, business size and consolidated headcount, activity carried out, site address, tax and social security situation, any difficulty and the applicable EU aid regime. Do not assume that every business located in the area is eligible.
Eligibility conditions
Conditions listed: businesses must be up to date with their tax and social security obligations and all regulations applying to them, and demonstrate their capacity to carry out the project (financial capacity, human resources, etc.). The overall development project must reach a minimum investment of €10,000, supported by invoices with a minimum unit amount of €300. Amount and parameters: official source of Porte des Vosges Méridionales consulted: works over €10,000 excluding VAT, application before signing the quote and a cap of up to €50,000 depending on the project and the size of the business. 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 scheme lists property investment linked to the construction, extension, fit-out or renovation of a building, as well as certain associated costs and fees for architects or technical design firms. The catalogue sets a different cap depending on whether eligible investment is below or above €150,000 excluding VAT. To avoid misclassification, separate works, fees and ancillary expenditure, then have the exclusions and the calculation base confirmed by the managing body.
Amount and funding terms
For businesses, the aid is capped at €10,000 for eligible investment below €150,000 excluding VAT, and at €50,000 for eligible investment of €150,000 excluding VAT or more. Exceptionally, the cap may be lifted for projects that are structuring for the territory. In that case the aid amount will be set case by case, after decisions by both local authorities, namely the EPCI and the Department. The aid will be set within the intervention rates allowed by EU regulations, from 0% to 30% of eligible investment, notably the authorised combinations of public aid to businesses. The aid may not exceed the business’s equity and quasi-equity (excluding grants). Joint support from the EPCI and the Department can only cover one application at a time. The aid can be combined with other aid within the limits of the regulations.
How to apply
1. Check that the establishment is located in the Vosges territory covered by the scheme. 2. Calculate the amount excluding VAT of the expenditure likely to be accepted, distinguishing works and fees. 3. Have the applicable band around the €150,000 excluding VAT threshold and the conditions for any exception confirmed. 4. Ask for the list of documents, the rate or amount granted, combination rules and the application procedure. 5. Have the timetable validated before committing to any works.
