aide commerciale n'est pas un terme financier, mais c'est l'idée.

agree  Charlie Bavington: subsidies are indeed financial, like you I would interpret "aides" as not limited to financial (in this context, I can think of govt ministers promoting the co. on foreign trips, for example) - so I think assistance is good. Or support, perhaps.
