Core offering

III Financements is a French B2B advisory firm that helps startups, SMEs, and intermediate-sized enterprises secure non-dilutive financing from public and private sources. The firm delivers three integrated service pillars: public financing (grants, subsidized loans, innovation competitions via Bpifrance, ADEME, regions, and France 2030), private financing (bank debt, revenue-based financing, venture loans, structured financing, equipment leasing), and innovation tax optimization (CIR, CII, JEI status). Engagements follow a four-stage methodology (needs identification, dossier production, funder instruction, and deal closure) and operate on a success-fee model.

Product overview

III Financements is a non-dilutive financing advisory firm founded in 2014, operating as a unified consultancy rather than a software product platform. The company offers three integrated service pillars: Public Fundraising (grants, subsidized loans, innovation competitions through Bpifrance, ADEME, regions, and France 2030), Private Fundraising (bank debt, revenue-based financing, venture loans, structured financing, and leasing), and Innovation Taxation (CIR, CII, and JEI status optimization). The firm also provides sector-specific expertise in Impact/ESS, Deeptech, Industry, and International expansion, supported by a broad ecosystem of investors and partners. Services are delivered through a four-step methodology: needs identification, dossier production, instruction, and successful financing closure.
