International Growth Loan
The Prêt Croissance International aims to finance certain stages of a company's international expansion. The criteria, eligible costs, caps and any co-financing requirements must be checked in the offer currently available.
Setting up a subsidiary, strengthening a presence abroad or accelerating international sales requires capital before the new market contributes to revenue. The Prêt Croissance International is repayable financing whose suitability depends on the project and on the criteria of the current offer. Check the permitted use of funds and the financing structure before budgeting for it.

Who can apply
Companies preparing or carrying out international expansion and meeting the size, activity, financial situation and project structure criteria set by the operator.
Eligibility conditions
Confirm the countries and operations covered, the amount, term, repayment holiday, security, additional financing needs and any exclusions. The international nature of a project is not enough on its own to establish eligibility.
What the scheme covers
The financing may cover certain international development costs provided for by the product: investments, developing a local presence or structuring actions, depending on the rules. Have the treatment of sales costs, acquisitions, subsidiaries and costs already incurred confirmed.
Amount and funding terms
The source page states the following terms: loan of €30,000 to €5,000,000 per intervention; term of 3 to 7 years, at a fixed or variable rate; no security over the company's assets or the manager; only a 5% guarantee deduction on the initial loan amount, returned once the loan has been repaid.
How to apply
Prepare a costed international strategy: target countries, timetable, local structure, investments, revenue forecasts and financing plan. Ask the operator for written confirmation of the right product, the eligible costs and any co-financing, then compare the total cost with the alternatives.
