In addition to its investment activities, Finorpa runs Finorpa Conseils, dedicated to the revitalization of territories since 2003 and recognized as a major player in managing such initiatives. The group includes the Fonds Rgional de Garantie Hauts de France (FRG), which offers financial counter-guarantees to medium and long-term loans provided to regional companies, mainly SMEs and mid-cap companies (ETIs).

This support extends to lease financing and other professional receivables.

The provision of guarantees by the FRG benefits from the support of regional and European funds, notably through the FESI co-financed by the FEDER and the Hauts de France Region, aiming to boost the competitiveness of SMEs. Finorpa's support for projects is made possible by co-financing from the European Union alongside the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). They strive to aid companies in their ability to expand into regional, national, and international markets and participate in innovative processes.

The minimum investment provided by Finorpa is 800,000 euros, with a maximum cap of 23,300,000 euros.
