Financing and subsidies for wine businesses | Camilla Engel, Olivier Antoine-Geny

Capital needs are very heavy in the wine industry, to invest in land, equipment, but also for commercial development. Many organizations subsidize or set up financing tools to help wine companies improve their performance and sell in major export countries. But paradox exists and the main stakeholders do not use, or use little, these aids due to lack of identification and unfamiliarity with the mechanisms. This Féret manual presents a list of the main sources of financing and subsidies that can help players in the wine industry carry out their projects. More than forty subsidy mechanisms, guarantees, and tax optimization tools are presented, accompanied by practical fact sheets and contacts to understand, implement, and obtain assistance and insurance. Camilla Engel holds a Master's degree in "Finance" from Bordeaux Ecole de Management. She joined the specialized master's program in banking and financial engineering at the Toulouse Business School. Olivier Antoine-Geny has an MBA in business management. Since 2006, he has been managing AOC Conseils SARL, a consulting firm dedicated to vineyard operations and cooperative wine cellars. He is an accredited AGRIMER expert consultant and a Foreign Trade Advisor of France. The collection of Féret Manuals, under the direction of Olivier Antoine-Geny, aims to provide wine industry professionals with practical tools that require a minimum of technical knowledge and can be quickly read.
