Equipment and intangible investment aid — Grand Guéret
Equipment and intangible investment aid — Grand Guéret. The aim is to encourage businesses to invest in new equipment and/or fit-out directly useful for adapting and/or diversifying their activity, notably digital equipment, and to invest in more energy- and water-efficient equipment. Investment may concern software, IT equipment, websites, production equipment and fit-out directly linked to the activity. Simply replacing obsolete or depreciated equipment is excluded according to the catalogue. The criteria and amounts should be compared with the rules in force.
The catalogue describes an aid for businesses’ adaptation and diversification, notably through digital tools, production equipment and investment that reduces energy or water consumption. Investment expenditure must be between €3,000 and €10,000 excluding VAT. The rate indicated is 30%, with an additional 20 points for certain more energy- or water-efficient equipment. The catalogue gives a deadline of 15 October 2026, which has now passed: check with Grand Guéret whether a new application window is planned before preparing the application.
