Pays de la Loire Equity Participations
It is not a conventional grant: the scheme takes the form of a minority stake or equity-like instruments, as a co-investment. It targets innovative and industrial projects and those in sectors of the future.
A business at the seed, acceleration or development stage may need equity or quasi-equity to finance its growth. Pays de la Loire Participations invests alongside private investors to strengthen the financial structure of businesses whose project contributes to regional economic development.

Who can apply
Micro-businesses and SMEs in various sectors, with a decision-making centre in Pays de la Loire or showing a positive impact on regional employment.

Eligibility conditions
The investment is made as a co-investment alongside private professional investors. The project must be of regional economic interest and fall within the fund’s priorities. It is equity or quasi-equity financing: the business must therefore anticipate the terms of the deal, governance and the consequences for shareholders.

The financing can support the seed, acceleration and development stages, subject to the fund’s analysis and the presence of co-investors.
