Business criteria, the expenditure base, the grant rate and the timetable should be checked with the funder before any commitment.

Who can apply
The identified funder is CC du Pays Viganais. Eligibility depends first on the location of the establishment concerned and the nature of the activity. Have any headcount and turnover thresholds, the accepted legal forms, registration obligations and excluded sectors confirmed. If the project concerns premises or an investment, check that the address and the asset are within the territorial perimeter.
Eligibility conditions
The project must meet the stated aim — to help businesses start up and set up; support the development of micro-businesses linked to local resources, local services or innovation by co-financing their start-up, development, transfer/takeover or coordination project; and create a “leverage” effect and access to public, regional and/or European aid — and comply with the funder’s rules. Before applying, check the eligible expenditure, the applicable aid regime, the rules on combining aid, the supporting documents required and any obligation to apply before starting. Do not automatically treat useful expenditure as eligible expenditure: have each item of the quote validated.
What the scheme covers
To document the project, detail the planned investment: productive investment, equipment, works linked to setting up and expenditure needed to increase capacity, according to the rules. For each item, present the cost, the timetable, the link with the aim of the aid and the expected result for the business. Day-to-day operating costs, purchases already made or expenditure not directly linked to the project should not be included without the funder’s explicit approval.
Amount and funding terms
The recorded cap is €3,000. This is a listed cap, not a guaranteed flat-rate amount. The amount that can be awarded depends on eligible expenditure, the funding rate and the funds available. The available information does not confirm the rate, the minimum investment threshold or how VAT is treated. Request the rules from CC du Pays Viganais and have the forecast calculation validated before including the aid in your financing plan.
