IMPACT +: financing support for eco-design or the circular economy
The rules listed in the catalogue provide for coverage of 80% of the price of the service excluding VAT, capped at €2,500. The same organisation cannot make unlimited applications: the rules limit how often the aid can be used. The territorial eligibility, the exact nature of the service and how the provider is chosen should be checked in the rules in force before signing the assignment.
IMPACT + is a local scheme for businesses and associations in the Clermont Auvergne Métropole territory that want to structure an eco-design or circular economy approach with external support. It reduces the cost of a first service to diagnose a product, service or organisation and identify concrete improvements. It is aid for a support service, not a general grant for equipment or works.

Who can apply
Businesses and associations with a registered office, main establishment or establishment in the territory defined by the local scheme.

Check the precise territorial conditions and any exclusions with Clermont Auvergne Métropole or the operator.
Eligibility conditions
The service must fall within the scope defined in the IMPACT + rules and be justified by an operational need. The PDF rules linked in the catalogue are the reference for the application rules, accepted providers, frequency of applications and supporting documents. Do not start the assignment before checking the application procedure and the eligibility of the service.
What the scheme covers
The scheme covers the cost of a support service in eco-design and/or the circular economy. This aid should not be treated as automatic funding for investment, machinery or works: this page does not establish that such expenditure is covered. Describe the expected deliverable — diagnosis, recommendations, roadmap or support — in the quote.
Amount and funding terms
The catalogue indicates a grant of **80% of the price of the support service excluding VAT**, capped at **€2,500**. The business therefore pays at least 20% of the service, excluding any ineligible costs. The rules also limit how often the same business or association can use the aid. Confirm these parameters in the version of the rules in force before committing.
How to apply
1. Describe the product, service or process to be improved and the measurable objective (materials, waste, lifespan, repairability or reuse). 2. Obtain a detailed quote identifying the service and its price excluding VAT. 3. Check the establishment’s address, the €2,500 cap, the frequency rules and the requirements on the provider in the official rules. 4. Apply under the operator’s procedure before starting the service, then keep the quote, invoice and deliverables.
