Development aid for social and solidarity economy businesses – SUCC’ESS
The historical SUCC’ESS catalogue entry mentions aid linked to permanent full-time-equivalent hires and investments. The agglomeration’s current page also presents a 2026 social and solidarity economy call for projects with awards of €5,000 or €10,000, with applications due by 30 June 2026 — a deadline that has now passed. Do not confuse these two strands or treat the 2026 call as still open.
The Béthune-Bruay agglomeration community’s SUCC’ESS scheme supports social and solidarity economy organisations in its area. The agglomeration’s current page presents a 2026 call for projects separate from the structural investment and employment aid: identify which strand the catalogue fiche refers to.

Who can apply
The catalogue mentions ESUS-approved companies, cooperatives and certain associations with an economic activity. The 2026 social and solidarity economy call for projects is open to project holders wanting to set up with social and solidarity economy status and to existing organisations with a development project or a new action. Check the strand, area and eligible statuses in the corresponding rules.
Eligibility conditions
The historical catalogue entry refers to creating permanent full-time-equivalent jobs and investments.

Its deadline of 30 June 2026 has passed: no application to this call should be treated as open.
What the scheme covers
Depending on the strand, operations may concern investments or job creation, or a new or development social and solidarity economy project receiving support and an award. The current page notably cites resource centres/recycling centres, professional integration and citizen energy. Identify the right rules before describing a cost as eligible.
Amount and funding terms
For the historical SUCC’ESS scheme, the catalogue mentions €5,000 per permanent full-time-equivalent job created, up to four jobs, as well as an investment strand. A separate official page describes the 2026 social and solidarity economy call for projects with awards of €5,000 or €10,000, with a deadline of 30 June 2026. These scales should not be mixed; check the rules for the scheme concerned.
