Who can apply
SMEs located in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, in eligible sectors. The takeover must be ordered by the commercial court and the takeover plan must retain at least 10 employees.
Eligibility conditions
The project must preserve at least 10 jobs and fall within the sectors covered by the “Businesses in transition” rules. The aid is not automatic: the review takes into account the takeover plan, the buyer’s contributions and the financial needs. Check the precise conditions in the rules before the hearing.
What the scheme covers
The financing concerns a court-ordered takeover with jobs retained. The needs funded and costs accepted are determined within the takeover plan and the regional rules; the advance should not be confused with a non-repayable grant.
Amount and funding terms
Interest-free repayable advance, without collateral, up to €200,000. The official page states that the amount is set to match the equity contributed by the buyer. The aid is budget-limited and subject to the regional rules.
How to apply
Contact the Region without waiting for the hearing, consult the rules and put together the takeover plan, the jobs plan, the buyer’s contributions, the financing plan and the court documents. The application is submitted via the regional portal. Check the order of steps with the reviewing department.
Timeline
The regional page indicates a deadline of 31 December 2026, subject to available funds. Preparation must take place ahead of the court-ordered takeover; confirm the exact application timetable with the Region.
