Who can apply
For a business, the criteria include turnover for the last closed financial year under €2M, fewer than ten employees, at least one year of activity on the date of application, not being in compulsory liquidation, premises that have never received this aid and a failed fibre connection recorded by or on behalf of an operator. The scheme targets micro-businesses and works on the private part of the property. Separate conditions apply to private individuals.
Eligibility conditions
The business must meet the size, age, turnover and legal status criteria. The premises must not have already received this aid. The operator must have recorded a failed connection due to the need for works on private property and provide the corresponding certificate. Works must be completed between 1 September 2025 and 31 May 2027, within the limits of available funds. Check the consolidated rules and the conditions applicable on the day you apply.
What the scheme covers
The aid covers all or part of the civil engineering works needed to connect to fibre on private property. The flat rate depends on the difficulty: small-scale (notably simple ground and a distance under 10 m), medium-scale (technical ground or a distance of 10 to 30 m) and major works (complex ground or a distance over 30 m). The final classification is based on the technical assessment provided for by the scheme.
Amount and funding terms
The order of 2 September 2025 sets three flat rates: €400 for small-scale works, €800 for medium-scale works and €1,200 for major works. The category is determined from the technical assessment of the works. The aid is deducted from the invoice including VAT and advanced to the beneficiary by the company carrying out the works, which is then reimbursed by the ASP (French services and payment agency).
How to apply
First ask the operator for the certificate of failed connection specifying the need for private works. Then submit the application on the ASP online service, with the SIRET number, the premises’ address, the certificate, a declaration of the number of employees and the legal representative’s documents. Once the aid is granted, choose the company to carry out the works: the flat rate is deducted from the invoice including VAT. The contractor then claims reimbursement from the ASP after completing the works.
Timeline
Eligible works must be completed between 1 September 2025 and 31 May 2027. The ASP’s timeline indicates that micro-businesses can apply until 31 January 2027; the contractor who carried out the works can claim reimbursement until 30 June 2027. Check these deadlines on the ASP portal before scheduling the works.
