Support for small and medium enterprises in Russia

In Russia, the state seeks to support small and medium-sized businesses. A subsidy to small businesses can be obtained in the framework of the "Program for the provision of subsidies to newly created small and medium-sized enterprises in order to reimburse the costs of acquiring fixed assets." In this case, the money will be provided from the federal, regional and city budgets in equal shares.

You can receive money within the framework of this program only on a competitive basis. Competitions are held at the city and region (region) level. There are the following restrictions for the contest participants: you can participate in the program only once with the same project (business plan). In addition, you can also receive a subsidy for such a program only once, that is, if a participant received money by winning a competition, he would not be able to participate in it next year.
