Data on state direct loans set up in the context of the COVID-19 outbreak

# # repayable advances and subsidised loans Specific measures, in the form of direct State intervention appropriations, have been planned to support undertakings for which recourse to other exceptional arrangements (Solidarity Fund, EGP, postponement of fiscal and social deadlines, partial activity, etc.) proves to be ineffective or insufficient. These loans are aimed at rescuing a company of strategic interest due in particular to its territorial impact or industrial positioning. — They are aimed at SMEs with 50 to 250 employees, or by way of derogation for less than 50 employees, which require cash support and restructuring of their balance sheets and operations, and which are not or no longer supported by their private or banking financiers. — They are aimed at SMEs that show real prospects of recovery or return to profitability, as demonstrated by a business plan, possibly audited. — The aid is granted after seeking a balanced contribution from the company’s various financial partners: clearance of liabilities with public (CCSF) and private creditors, shareholder contribution. ## The Business Aid Scoreboard In order to offer visibility to all French people on the allocation of aid paid to companies under this solidarity fund, the Minister for Action and Public Accounts, with the technical support of the Etalab department of the Interministerial Directorate of Digital (DINUM), are making available a scoreboard whose source code is free which proposes a consolidated view of the support provided by the State to companies. ## Description of data This dataset contains the data presented on the “solidarity fund” tab of the scoreboard.
