ARDAN Development
ARDAN is a support scheme for development projects that pairs a business with a jobseeker in training for six months. It aims to move a new project forward and encourage the creation of a lasting job. The current page presents the process and the approval committee but does not confirm all the old co-financing rates in the catalogue; these should not be considered guaranteed.
ARDAN Centre-Val de Loire lets a business structure a new project by hosting a jobseeker for six months as a vocational training trainee. The scheme follows four steps: review by an adviser, approval by a committee, support for the project and the aim of creating a lasting job. The conditions and co-financing must be validated with the ARDAN team before building the financing plan.

Who can apply
Very small businesses and SMEs able to carry out a development project and recruit permanently afterwards, in Centre-Val de Loire. The current ARDAN page invites businesses to present their project to an adviser; the old headcount limits and sector conditions must be reconfirmed with the scheme.
Eligibility conditions
The project is reviewed by an expert adviser and must be approved by a committee. The process involves a jobseeker in training for six months. The conditions for the business, funding and the trainee’s status are to be confirmed before any commitment.
What the scheme covers
The page presents support for structuring and sustaining new projects. The catalogue notably cites launching a product or service, winning markets, creating a new function (sales, marketing, production, logistics, quality or environment) or organising the business. Have the eligibility of the specific project confirmed.
Amount and funding terms
The historical catalogue mentions public and private co-financing of the “trainee developer’s” pay and charges, with a variable financial benefit. The current page consulted does not publish a reliable universal scale: do not rely on a fixed rate. Ask the ARDAN adviser for the amount left to pay, the pay rules and the funding applicable to the project.
How to apply
Contact ARDAN Centre-Val de Loire, present the project and the skills needed, then follow the review with an adviser. The process includes committee approval before support starts. Do not recruit or count on co-financing before written confirmation of the terms.
Timeline
The current page does not publish a single annual deadline. The scheme works through review and approval of the project: check committee sessions, the timetable and the rules in force with the adviser.
