Recovery plan – Cheque France Num: number of beneficiaries and amounts per department

In order to help SMEs, especially merchants, artisans and restaurateurs to maintain and develop their activities during the lockdown, the Government presented a plan to accelerate their digitisation. It is based on two main axes: active support for companies (digital solutions on shelf, telephone campaign, training-actions, diagnosis of maturity) and financial support of companies, in particular in the form of a cheque for EUR 500 per company.

The dataset indicates for each region and department: the number of companies benefiting from the TPE/SME digitisation check, the overall amount represented by the cheques paid in the territory.
