Equipment Investment Support
Repayable advance for investing in production facilities — Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Supporting investment projects in production facilities by strengthening cash flow to fund intangible investments; seeking maximum leverage of the aid on bank financing (leasing or, etc.). The catalogue states in particular: build a financing plan that distinguishes productive investment, intangible costs and bank financing. Have the eligible cost base, any AFR location, the repayment schedule and the combination conditions confirmed. The criteria and amounts must be compared with the rules in force.
The regional scheme is described as a repayable advance for SMEs and SMIs investing in their production facilities. The catalogue indicates support of 20% of the eligible cost base, raised to 30% in an AFR zone, up to €250,000, over five years with a six-month deferral. The mechanism also aims to leverage medium- or long-term bank financing and to assess the aid’s incentive effect. These parameters come from the catalogue: they must be checked against the regional rules in force before any decision.
