Our role
Funding orchestration as a project dimension
Funding is not an administrative task delegated at the end. It is a project dimension that shapes the scope, the phasing, and even the technical architecture. We integrate it from the framing phase, not after.
Identify
Map the schemes mobilisable for your specific profile (size, sector, region, project nature). Combinatorial analysis when several schemes can be stacked.
Instruct
Compile the technical and financial dossier per scheme. Documentation that withstands fiscal audit (notably for CII/CIR), substantiated narrative for jury-judged programmes (BPI, EU).
Orchestrate
Sequence the schemes over the project timeline. Avoid double-funding incompatibilities. Maintain the project plan in alignment with the funding constraints.
When to involve us
Three good moments — and one bad
- Project framing. The earliest involvement is the most valuable: funding shapes the architecture and the phasing.
- Mid-project pivot. When initial funding is exhausted or new schemes open (Finance Law update, regional call), re-orchestrate.
- Audit preparation. Fiscal audits on CII/CIR can occur up to 3 years after the tax credit. Documentation must hold up.
- Bad moment: after a refusal. Once a scheme is refused, second chances are rare. We prefer to instruct correctly the first time.
