Repayable advanceOngoing

Support for Companies in Financial Consolidation

The scheme targets SMEs with more than 25 employees and large companies, primarily industrial or structuring for their sector, with a redeployment and job preservation project. The catalogue indicates a repayable advance capped at €100,000. The amount would depend in particular on the project’s needs, co-financing, the business’s contribution and the regional interest. The current status of the scheme must be checked.

When an industrial business is going through a temporary financial difficulty, the need is not always to fund a one-off investment: it may be to stabilise the situation and preserve activity and jobs during a redeployment. The Hauts-de-France page describes financial consolidation aid in the form of a repayable advance of up to €100,000 according to the catalogue. It is therefore not a grant: the cash-flow need, the other financing raised and the repayment capacity are at the heart of the assessment.
