Business grants in Pays de la Loire
Creation, investment, innovation, green transition: the Pays de la Loire region and its partners support businesses. Here is how to find your way.
Pays de la Loire, like every French region, combines its own regional aids with national schemes applied locally. They cover creation and takeover, productive investment, innovation, export, and green and digital transition.
The winning reflex: cross your project (what you want to fund) with your location, since many aids are reserved or boosted by area and sector.
Method
Finding the right regional aids: the method
Start from your project, not a scheme
Creation, machinery, hiring, R&D, decarbonisation: the project type sets the available aids. That crossing opens the right scope.
Cross national and regional
Many projects stack a national aid (exemption, tax scheme) with a regional investment or innovation aid. Check compatibility.
Look at rural and sector aids
In rural areas, European and local schemes support investment and territorial development. Some sectors have their own aids.

What types of aid for a Loire-region business?
Creation and takeover aids, productive-investment grants, innovation and R&D support, green-transition and digitisation aids: the range is broad and evolves yearly.
As regional criteria change regularly, the safest path is to check up-to-date schemes and set an alert to be notified when windows open.
