Aid for developing the social and solidarity economy
The scheme is presented as support for developing social and solidarity economy activities, distinguishing investment from operating costs. The catalogue notably mentions businesses less than three years old for investment, organisations developing a new activity and employer associations or those creating their first job. The caps, costs taken into account and precise criteria are not confirmed.
A social and solidarity economy organisation may need to fund two very different stages: investing to start or consolidate its activity, then absorbing the costs of launching a new offer. The fiche distinguishes an investment strand for certain recent organisations from an operating strand linked to developing an activity. The territorial funder remains to be identified: avoid applying a scale from another area to this fiche.

Who can apply
The profiles cited in the catalogue are recent businesses for the investment strand, social and solidarity economy organisations developing a new activity for the operating strand, and certain employer associations or those creating their first job. Eligibility will depend on the definition of the social and solidarity economy used, the area, the organisation’s status and the strand requested.
Eligibility conditions
The distinction between investment and operating costs appears decisive. The conditions on the organisation’s age, the new nature of the activity, employment and administrative situation must be checked in the funder’s own rules.
What the scheme covers
The fiche distinguishes two needs to be budgeted separately: investments needed to create or develop the organisation, and operating costs associated with a new activity. The exact categories — equipment, fit-out, launch costs, jobs or other costs — must be taken from the official rules, without assuming that all running costs can be funded.
Amount and funding terms
Rate, cap and costs taken into account not confirmed by a specific official source. Do not infer an amount from other social and solidarity economy schemes or other areas.
How to apply
1. Identify the local authority or body offering this aid. 2. Determine whether the project falls under investment or operating costs. 3. Prepare the articles of association, evidence of belonging to the social and solidarity economy, the organisation’s age, the budget forecast and the jobs concerned. 4. Have the eligible costs, cap and application timetable confirmed before finalising the financing plan.
Timeline
