Who can apply
The funder identified is the CC du Pays de Mormal. Eligibility depends first on the location of the establishment concerned and the type of activity. Have any headcount and turnover thresholds, the eligible legal form, registration obligations and excluded sectors confirmed. If the project concerns premises or an investment, check that the address and asset are within the territorial scope.
Eligibility conditions
The project must meet the stated objective — supporting craft, retail and service businesses in their development projects in urban and rural areas, encouraging growth investments and job creation in the area — and comply with the funder’s rules. Before applying, check the eligible costs, applicable aid regime, combination rules, supporting documents required and any obligation to apply for the aid before starting. Do not automatically treat a useful cost as a subsidisable one: have each item of the quote validated.
What the scheme covers
To document the project, detail the planned investments: business equipment, improving production tools, fit-out and investments needed for the project. For each item, give the cost, timetable, link with the aid’s objective and expected result for the business. Routine operating costs, purchases already made or costs not directly linked to the project should not be included without the funder’s explicit approval.
Amount and funding terms
The cap recorded is €6,000. It is a recorded cap, not a guaranteed flat amount. The amount that can be awarded depends on eligible costs, the funding rate and available funds. The available information does not confirm the rate, the minimum investment threshold or how VAT is treated. Ask the CC du Pays de Mormal for the rules and have the estimated calculation validated before including the aid in your financing plan.
