There are many aids, national or regional, often underutilized due to lack of knowledge or fear of bureaucracy.
Digital Assistance: Many regions offer “Digital Cheques” (€500 to €1500) to help finance the creation of a website, a Click & Collect solution subscription, or a point-of-sale software.
Green transition aids: ADEME offers grants to reduce waste, invest in energy-efficient equipment, or replace plastic packaging.
Recruiting aids: Bonuses for hiring apprentices or vocational training contracts are very interesting (up to €6,000 in the first year). It’s a great way to train your future employees.
Help with creation/restart: Honorary loans (0% rate without guarantee), BPI France guarantees, tax exemptions (ACRE). Contact the Chambers of Commerce (CCI) or support networks (Initiative France, Réseau Entreprendre).
Don’t rely on it for your immediate survival (delays may be long), but as a bonus to fund investments.
