Grants for consulting firms
In brief
A consulting firm never receives any of these grants directly: they fund the client company that carries out a Bpifrance diagnostic (growth, Europe, design, intellectual property). For some of these diagnostics, the firm itself must be listed or accredited by Bpifrance in order to deliver them. This page lists the schemes currently validated, with their funder and maximum amount where available.
None of the grants listed here are paid to the consulting firm itself: they all fund the client company that carries out a diagnostic.
The five schemes listed are all Bpifrance "Diagnostics": Growth, Europe, Design, Intellectual Property, and Diag 360 — each covers part of the cost of the support provided.
Important: to deliver some of these diagnostics, the consulting firm itself must be listed or accredited by Bpifrance (or an authorized third party) — this is not automatic, and should be checked scheme by scheme before promoting it to a client.
Run a personalised scan to identify the public grants and funding your company may be able to access.
Who actually receives these grants?
The client company that carries out the diagnostic, never the consulting firm that runs it.
The funding covers part of the cost of the support provided, not a fee paid to the firm as such.
How much can be obtained?
The amounts observed range from €3,920 to €20,000 depending on the diagnostic, where the maximum amount is known.
The amount actually covered depends on the diagnostic chosen and the profile of the client company.
How to use this information with your clients?
First check whether your firm is listed or accredited for the diagnostic in question: some schemes require it, others do not.
Once this has been checked, presenting the available coverage to your client can make it easier for them to decide to launch the diagnostic.

Frequently asked questions about grants for consulting firms
Are these grants paid to the consulting firm or to its client?
None of these 5 grants are paid to the firm: they all fund the client company that carries out the diagnostic.
The full list is shown further up this page, with the funder and the maximum amount of each grant where known.
Does my firm need to be accredited to offer these diagnostics?
It depends on the diagnostic: some require the firm to be listed or accredited by Bpifrance or an authorized third party, others do not.
This page does not assume anything about your firm's status; check the conditions specific to each scheme before promoting it to a client.
Do these diagnostics fund all of the support or only part of it?
Part of the cost of the support, up to the scheme's maximum amount; the rest remains payable by the client company.
The exact amount covered depends on the diagnostic chosen and the company's profile.
How does my client apply for this type of grant?
The application is made directly with Bpifrance, which validates the company's eligibility before the diagnostic begins.
A personalized diagnostic identifies the schemes that are genuinely relevant to your client's project, before starting the process.
