Grants & schemes
Reduce your actual investment
Several public schemes can fund part of your machine. We check with you which ones your project is eligible for.
Regional
Regional grants
Many regions offer grants of 20 to 30% for modernising industrial production equipment.
Hauts-de-France, Grand Est, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Nouvelle-Aquitaine: schemes active in 2025-2026.
Bpifrance
Bpifrance loans and guarantees

Tax · proposed
2027 enhanced depreciation
The 2027 finance bill provides for a new “Industry 4.0” enhanced depreciation allowance for SMEs and mid-sized companies, on equipment acquired from 2027 to 2029.
Measure under debate in Parliament: rate and eligible equipment to be confirmed in the enacted text. The former 40% scheme does not apply to 2026 purchases.
With leasing and financial rental, a €0 deposit is often possible depending on the company's financial health. With a conventional loan, a deposit of 10-30% is generally required.
What rates do you apply?
Rates depend on the company's profile, the amount and the term. They are currently between 4 and 6% APR for machine tool leasing. The simulator above gives you an indicative estimate; your exact rate is confirmed by our banking partners after reviewing your application.
What happens at the end of the lease?
Three options: (1) exercise the purchase option (residual value 1-5% of the new price), (2) extend the contract at a reduced rental, or (3) return the machine. Most manufacturers exercise the option.
Can I finance a machine + its installation?
Yes. Financing can cover the machine, transport, installation, training and even options (probe, 4th axis, coolant). The all-in package is more tax-efficient.
How long does it take to get an answer?
An agreement in principle within 48h of receiving your file (accounts for the last 2 financial years + forecast). Funds are generally released within 2-3 weeks.
Can I combine regional grants with leasing?
Yes, under most schemes. Your accountant confirms compatibility on a case-by-case basis. We help you put together your grant application alongside the financing.
Who are your financial partners?
We work with the main French leaders in industrial leasing (subsidiaries of major French banking groups) as well as with Bpifrance. The choice of partner depends on your profile: we compare several offers to secure the best terms.
