• Have you got a project and would like to know if any government grants are available to help you turn your idea into reality ?

Despite the constantly-changing nature of European Union and national legislation governing state intervention and grants to business, you can be sure that there is a grant or tax exemption to suit you.

Grants vary depending on your field of activity (retail, craft-related industry, industry, provision of services etc), your project (job creation, new investment, research and development etc) and the stage your project is at (start-up stage, business development, moving to the Haut-Rhin, business take-over).

Generally speaking, grants cannot be awarded if any expenses have already been incurred prior to the grant application being made. You should therefore examine this issue at the earliest possible stage.

Our Agency can offer you free, confidential advice, providing you with an overarching assessment of your project, helping you fill in grant application forms and, if necessary, directing you towards a specialist in the field. Your accountant will also provide you with extremely useful advice regarding this question.

It is possible to apply for and be awarded several different grants at the same time (e.g in relation to a production facility and job creation or in relation to a production facility and productive investments), but the regulations in question are complex and require expert advice, of the type we can provide.

To give you an idea of the grants available to business in the Haut-Rhin, define your project on the basis of the category to which it belongs (e.g production facilities, major industrial projects etc).
