Aid for creating or taking over a shop or craft business
The scheme supports newly created or taken-over local shops, craft businesses and services in the community of municipalities’ area. The business’s age, a village-centre location for shops and the type of works are essential criteria.
This territorial aid targets the creation or takeover of a local shop or craft business and bringing vacant commercial premises back into use. The catalogue indicates a grant of 30% of eligible costs, with a cost cap of €5,000, raised to €10,000 if the premises have been vacant for more than two years. According to the fiche, these amounts concern the cost base, not necessarily the grant amount.

Who can apply
Commercial, craft and local service businesses mainly serving local customers, being created or taken over, and created/taken over less than a year ago according to the catalogue. The head office or establishment must be within the community of municipalities’ area.
Eligibility conditions
Check the location, the business’s age, local shop status, whether the premises are vacant, eligible costs and the twelve-month completion period after the acknowledgement of receipt or the decision mentioned in the rules. Do not start before approval if the rules require it.
What the scheme covers
Refreshing the premises, fit-out and layout works linked to installing the equipment needed for the activity, purchase of materials provided the invoice exceeds €250 excluding VAT, according to the catalogue.
Amount and funding terms
The catalogue indicates a rate of 30% of eligible costs and a cost cap of €5,000, raised to €10,000 if the premises have been vacant for more than two years. The theoretical grant would therefore be capped at €1,500 or €3,000 if these caps are indeed the cost base; this calculation must be validated against the official rules before taking any steps.
How to apply
Contact the community of municipalities and the partner chamber of commerce or trades before works. Ask for the form, the up-to-date rules, the evidence required on the business’s age and the vacancy of the premises, the quotes and the rule on when costs may start.
Timeline
The catalogue mentions completion within twelve months of the acknowledgement of receipt or the grant decision. The current opening of the scheme must be confirmed with the local authority.
