Human Resources Advisory Support
The PCRH funds, subject to conditions, external support for micro-businesses and SMEs that want to structure their HR function. The service can last up to 30 days spread over 12 months and can be delivered individually or collectively. Funding can reach 100% from the State and co-funders, notably the OPCO (skills operator), depending on the project and the applicable rules.
The HR consulting service (prestation de conseil en ressources humaines, PCRH) allows companies with fewer than 250 employees to use a specialised external provider to address a specific HR need. Support may cover recruitment, HR strategy, employer branding, skills, social dialogue, work organisation or the digital and ecological transitions. The content is tailored; funding depends on the project and local arrangements.

Amount and funding terms
The ministry’s page states that funding can reach 100% of costs, from the State and co-funding bodies, most often the OPCO. This rate is conditional: the amount granted depends on the project and the funding arrangements applicable locally. Have the funding confirmed before signing the service contract.
How to apply
Start by setting out the HR need to be addressed and the expected results: for example, structuring recruitment, preparing a skills plan or reviewing work organisation. Then contact your OPCO or your region’s DREETS to check eligibility, available co-funders and the choice of external provider. Confirm the funding before committing; arrangements may vary by area and partner.
