Supporting investment in business equipment. The catalogue notably identifies the following costs: new productive capital goods (or second-hand goods less than 5 years old) needed for the business’s economic activity, for example a blast freezer, glass washer, vehicle lift, crimping machine, etc.

For the development strand, it announces 20% of investments excluding VAT, for a programme of between €5,000 and €30,000, with a cap of €6,000 and a possible €500 bonus under the criteria indicated.
