  • Microfinance for small businesses;
  • Guarantee from the state;
  • (gratuitous loan);

Now we will consider each of the types of state support for small and medium-sized businesses separately.

Small business microfinance

Each region of the Russian Federation has a microcredit fund for small and medium-sized businesses. It is he who facilitates the issuance of loans Money entrepreneurs on a preferential basis.

Lending terms vary from region to region. A significant advantage of this type of lending is its availability: money is provided regardless of the area of ​​employment.

There are only a few restrictions that are determined by each region independently. For example, for Moscow, this is a limitation on the amount of a loan to a young entrepreneur.

Average conditions for obtaining a soft loan:

  • or physical () in the territory of the subject of the Russian Federation in which the loan will be received;
  • From 50 thousand to 1.5 million rubles (restrictions in the amount may be imposed depending on the scope of the organization);
  • The interest rate of a preferential loan is from 8 to 12% and will depend on the prospects of your business, market needs, the solvency of the borrower, the amount of borrowed funds and the loan term, the type of security;
  • Money is provided against security: property pledge, surety, pledge of a product in circulation, etc.;
  • The loan is issued in non-cash form;
  • In case of non-compliance with the conditions for providing money, penalties are provided in the form of an increased percentage;
  • There is a limit on the number of loans;
  • The duration of consideration of documents for the provision of funds is from 5 to 10 days, depending on the region.

State guarantee

In this case, the money will be issued to you by a commercial bank, and the state fund, represented by the Federal Notary Chamber, will act as a guarantor. However, it should be borne in mind that not all commercial banks participate in the state program. Them full list in your region can be obtained on the official website of the government of the Russian Federation.

Unlike the first option, obtaining funds under a government guarantee does not differ in terms from a conventional loan. Consideration of the application will not be quick. Also, get ready for the fact that the fund will guarantee not for the entire amount, but only for a part.

Enterprises are most likely to receive a guarantee from the fund social area services for citizens, production and industry, innovation. When considering an application for a guarantee, the fund pays special attention to the number of jobs created by the organization.

Subsidies

A subsidy is the type of state support most desired by entrepreneurs. The thing is that it is provided to businessmen free of charge.

  • Businesses that create a lot of jobs.

The area in which the organization operates is also important for obtaining a grant. Each region defines these areas independently.

Companies producing innovative products, enterprises producing import-substituting goods, as well as service providers can count on such relief.

As for tax breaks, in 2017 a novice entrepreneur has the opportunity to take the so-called. They consist in the exemption of a businessman from paying taxes during two tax periods.

Why government assistance is needed for small businesses

The state program is designed to help newcomers to the small business at the stage of starting their own business, to support them through providing subsidies. Of course, by issuing financial assistance, the state also pursues its own goals, because the government is also an interested party: the opening of small business projects improves the overall economic condition of the country.

State assistance in opening a small business aims to improve the quality of goods of domestic producers. Thanks to the formation of new business projects in the production of goods, a competitive environment is created that contributes to improving the quality of the product, because any production is interested in good sales volumes, that is, in constant demand for a product by consumers.

There are also non-state programs to subsidize small businesses, but it is still better to contact the authorities, because in this case there is a definite plus for the entrepreneur - gratuitousness.

It is important to say that in different regions the amount of financial state support is different, since in each subject Russian Federation price policy in relation to goods and services is individual.

The act that regulates the provision of subsidies is federal law No. 209 "On the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the Russian Federation."

In addition, there are regional regulators responsible for government assistance to small businesses. A complete list can be found on the website of the Ministry. economic development RF in the "Small Business" section: http://economy.gov.ru/minec/activity/sections/smallBusiness.

Why is government assistance to small businesses so important? Thanks to the projects of small and medium-sized businesses in the Russian Federation, more than 16 million citizens are provided with jobs (and this is a quarter of the entire employed population). In addition, 20% of the gross domestic product is accounted for by small and medium-sized enterprises. However, in the world this figure is almost 35%, so Russia still has something to strive for.

The role of small and medium-sized businesses in the country's economy is very large. Newly opened organizations:

  • create additional jobs;
  • create healthy competition in the market and adequate pricing for goods and services ;
  • provide revenues to the budgets of all levels;
  • fill niches it can't fill big business(providing household services population, small wholesale, marketing).

However, there are some difficulties that arise in the implementation of projects of small and medium-sized businesses, namely:

  • unstable economic situation in the country;
  • lack of necessary financial resources to open and develop a new business;
  • high taxes and difficulties with accounting;
  • constantly changing legislation;
  • understaffing(skilled professionals prefer to work for the "sharks" of the business, ignoring small entrepreneurs);
  • the complexity of lending processes (not every bank wants to deal with small businesses).

It is worth noting that even large-scale production cannot always withstand the above difficulties, and even more so for small and medium-sized enterprises. That is why government assistance to small businesses is so important.

Practitioner tells

State assistance at the stage of formation of small business

Lydia Tsarenko,

CEO Premium Telecom, Moscow

Any newly created enterprise faces the problem of attracting money. It is not always possible to get a loan from a bank, because he wants to financial reporting new organization already in the first year of work, profit was reflected, or it requires property to be pledged. Investors most often treat startups with some apprehension. In our case, the only way out of this situation was to apply to the Moscow Department of Science, Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship, which provides gratuitous material assistance to capital businessmen.

We have collected required package documents in a week, and already a month after they were submitted, we were given the necessary sum of money. We used the bulk of the funds received as working capital, and spent the rest on attracting new employees. A few months later, we reported to the department for the allocated funds (such reporting is prerequisite government assistance to small businesses). I would like to note that, despite the gratuitous subsidies, we still returned part of the amount to the city budget in the form of additional tax deductions from the growth of the company's turnover and the creation of new jobs.

Thanks to the assistance provided by the state, we were able to increase profits. A year later, we again applied to the department to receive funds for the development of innovative software product, aimed at optimizing the costs of our customers (first corporate, and later private) for mobile communications. We were again provided with financial assistance, and also provided in the Strogino technopark with an office space for innovative developments. Thanks to our work there, we had access to information resources, various educational programs, and also we could meet with investors and representatives of venture funds.

We regularly monitor new opportunities within the framework of government assistance to small businesses so as not to miss another chance to receive a subsidy. For example, last year we sent our employees for an internship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The internship program was organized by the Foundation for the Promotion of Venture Capital Investment in Small Enterprises in science and technology Moscow.

Where can I get government assistance for small business development

The subsidy is primarily a targeted payment from the local or federal budget. This type of financial assistance is not a loan or a loan, and therefore the subsidy does not need to be returned to the state. Thus, it is characterized by:

  • gratuitousness;
  • irrevocable;
  • target direction.
  1. Employment center.

Only an unemployed citizen can receive a subsidy for the development of small business. To do this, you need to follow several sequential steps.

Step 1. Registration at the Employment Center.

If you have not officially registered the status of unemployed, then you need to collect a package of documents and submit it to the Employment Center. You will need:

  • identity document;
  • document on the availability of education;
  • work book (if available);
  • Sberbank card number;
  • SNILS;
  • military ID (for men).

Then you will need to write two applications (for receiving unemployment benefits and about your intention to carry out small business activities), as well as answer several questions on the questionnaire.

Step 2. Drawing up a business plan.

After obtaining the status of an unemployed citizen, you need to write a business plan. This stage is very important, since the decision of the commission to provide state assistance to small businesses or to refuse to provide subsidies will depend on it. Your business plan should be interesting and credible for the leadership of the Employment Center. Approach its compilation as responsibly as possible. To do this, pay special attention to:

  • additional jobs. If new people are employed as part of the implementation of your business project, be sure to indicate this. Under this condition, the chances of receiving government assistance to small businesses greatly increase;
  • the social importance of your business. Describe in as much detail as possible the usefulness of your business for the region. It is worth noting that the chances are higher for production projects and for the service sector;
  • own investments. The more personal finance you invest in your project, the more likely you are to receive government assistance for small businesses. To consider the application, you must invest at least 50% of your own funds from the requested amount;
  • targeted use of state subsidies for small businesses. As mentioned earlier, the purposes for which the distribution of funds is planned are subject to the closest verification. Describe in as much detail as possible all the expected items of expenditure. The commission should immediately see what you plan to spend the money provided by the state.

Step 3. Protecting the business plan.

A detailed written business plan must be submitted to the Employment Center. If approved, you will be invited to sign an agreement on the provision of government assistance to small businesses in the form of a subsidy. After that, you can proceed to register an individual entrepreneur or LLC.

Step 4. Registration of an LLC or individual entrepreneur.

At the last stage, you need to register your business with the Federal Tax Service.

If an unemployed citizen could not find a job at the Employment Center, the government will provide him financial support. For example, in Moscow, an entrepreneur can receive a subsidy of up to 10.2 thousand rubles. for registration of a legal entity, individual entrepreneur, farming or farming. In this case, the money is paid only after confirmation of expenses.

  1. Organs local government.

The employment center provides small businesses with very little support, which will not help develop the company much. Therefore, try to find additional sources of funding.

If your business involves significant expenses, then ask for help from local governments. What is needed for this?

The list of documents for obtaining assistance is the same as when applying to the Employment Center, only a package of papers in this case must be taken to the small business development department. Local authorities can provide more impressive financial assistance, which leads to a large number of people who want to receive it. Therefore, your main task is to arouse interest in your project, to convince the authorities of the usefulness of your business for the region. In the case of allocation of money, you will be required to report on a monthly basis for their spending. If you are late in submitting a report or have spent the money for other purposes, then you will be obliged to return it.

In addition, you will need to return the money that you did not spend in the first year. In connection with the circumstances described above, it is extremely important to have in the annual report documentary confirmation all target spending.

Some do not know where to turn, others have bad experience in dealing with government agencies

Olga Kosets,

owner of the Sofiano garment factory, president of the interregional public organization"Business people"

Many Russian businessmen do not even try to get help from the state. Some simply do not know where to turn, while others do not want to do this because of past bad experiences. Here's my advice to businessmen: go straight to the regional business support centers. There you can get all the information about the available government assistance programs for small businesses and the conditions for participating in them for free. The government will provide you with both advisory assistance and financial support. Of course, you should not hope for large sums, but at least some problems due to budget funds can be solved.

Last year, I applied to the Center for Entrepreneurship Support of the Krasnodar Territory - at the place of registration of my clothing factory. I expected to get a preferential loan, but for some formal reasons I could not. The Center received an offer to participate in the reimbursement program for legal registration trademark. I agreed, and the government paid for the extension of Sofiano. Thanks to the assistance of the Department of Investments and Development of Small and Medium Enterprises of the Krasnodar Territory, I am preparing documents for obtaining a loan at a reduced interest rate from the Industrial Development Fund. For me this question is fundamental, since I plan to spend this money on organizing the first industry coworking.

What assistance to small businesses from the state will be provided in 2018

State assistance for the opening of small businesses in 2018 involves the allocation of subsidies for social entrepreneurship. It is also planned to abolish the limitation on the share of capital for foreign investors at 49% and remove the linkage of individual entrepreneur contributions to the minimum wage so that the burden on business does not grow following the change in the minimum wage. In addition, work will continue to develop infrastructure for business and to expand entrepreneurs' access to financial resources.

The interest rate on preferential lending programs for medium-sized businesses is 9.6%, for small businesses - 10.6%.

To obtain a preferential loan, you can contact the partner bank of the program (there are 45 of them). If the loan amount does not exceed 200 million rubles, then the application will be considered by any of them, if more - by the SME corporation. FROM detailed information information about partner banks, requirements and conditions for granting a loan can be found on the Corporation's website (section "For Banks and Credit Institutions").

Microloans. In addition to a loan (for example, if there is no credit history or locality located far away) the company can apply for a microloan to a regional microfinance organization. Here you can get a loan in the amount of up to 3 million rubles. up to 36 months. The conditions and procedure for obtaining microloans are posted on the official websites of regional microfinance funds, for example www.mofmicro.ru.

Thus, until 2020, the Ministry of Agriculture is implementing the Beginning Farmer program, under which novice farmers are given grants for the creation and development of farms(up to 3 million rubles for breeding large cattle and up to 1.5 million rubles. to other directions).

Each region has its own programs to support small and medium-sized businesses. Thus, the administration of Veliky Novgorod is implementing the municipal program "Development of small and medium-sized businesses" for 2017-2023. To clarify the current programs, please visit the website of the regional administration.

State and municipal guarantees. Each region has a credit facilitation fund that guarantees the entrepreneur for credit, loans and leasing in the event of a lack of collateral. To receive the service, you need to come to a partner bank, which will send an application and all the necessary documents to the guarantee fund. A decision will be made within three working days from the date of application.

IMPORTANT: Financial assistance in starting your own business is provided in the form of a cash payment in the amount of the amount of unemployment benefits for one year.

What is the help of the employment center

It should be noted that financial support is provided on the basis of the Federal Program for Supporting Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (for 2005-2020), the Law “On State Support for Small Business in the Russian Federation” dated June 14, 1995 No. 88-FZ and other legislative acts. So, how can the employment center help you?

  • Firstly, if all the conditions and requirements are met, a certain amount of money will be paid when registering your own business. Its amount will depend on the amount of the assigned allowance based on the length of service and wages at the last place of work. On average, entrepreneurs received up to 58 thousand rubles for their own business.
  • Secondly, in some cases, the amount spent at various stages of registering your case can be compensated. For example, the amount paid in quality can be returned, notary services can be compensated, as well as funds spent on the purchase of forms, legal advice, etc. can be reimbursed.

How to get a subsidy for starting a sole proprietorship

First of all, as noted above, you must register for unemployment. To do this, you need to collect documents and come to the employment center. Need:

  • the passport;
  • SNILS;
  • employment history;
  • education document;
  • certificate from the last place of work on income for the last three months.

A specific list of documents for your region can be found by calling the employment center at the place of residence.

IMPORTANT: Unemployment registration may be denied to persons who have not been working for disrespectful reasons for more than 5 years. After all, if a person has found funds for living within 5 years, he will be able to provide for himself in the future.

  1. We are writing an application for unemployment benefits.
  2. We turn for advice to a specialist of the employment center. He will tell you everything and put you up to date.
  3. We are writing an application to confirm your desire to open your own business.
  4. We're going through testing.
  5. We develop a business plan. Writing a business plan is not an easy task that requires certain skills and knowledge. There are two options:
    • Seek help from experts and draw up a business plan. The fee for such a service is on average 5 - 20 thousand rubles.
    • Study the most necessary materials on the Internet, go to business trainings and develop a business plan on your own.

    Whichever option you choose, take into account the criteria that a good business plan must meet in the eyes of the employment center commission that will consider your idea.

    • Innovation and originality of the business idea. Such a business plan will attract more attention than the hundredth grocery store on Lenina Avenue, and will have a much better chance of being approved;
    • Profitability. There is no point in a business if it is unprofitable;
    • Hiring employees. If your business plan involves hiring workers, it will carry a lot of weight, because the purpose of the employment center is employment of the population. And you yourself find a job, you also help others;
    • initial capital. Opening a business only with the money that the employment center offers as assistance will not work. You also need to invest your own money. The ratio should be approximately 1:2 or even 1:3. If you plan to receive 58 thousand rubles from the state, while investing your own 10 thousand rubles, you will most likely be denied a subsidy.
    • Expenses. It is important for the state that the allocated money be spent wisely. In the business plan, it is recommended to prescribe the cost of the subsidy for the purchase of fixed assets: appliances, furniture, transport, and not for rent or advertising.
  6. We submit documents for a subsidy to the employment center (application and business plan). Documents are considered by a special commission. Professionals evaluate your entrepreneurial ability and analyze your business plan. The decision to grant a subsidy is made by the director of the employment center based on the findings of the commission. His decision is issued by order. In general, it takes no more than 10 business days to make a decision.
  7. If approved, the employment center notifies you of its decision, and you conclude an agreement for the transfer of the subsidy.

    IMPORTANT: you cannot register an individual entrepreneur or LLC before concluding an agreement with the employment center on the provision of subsidies for small businesses.

  8. We register an individual entrepreneur or LLC. .
  9. Provide the employment center with documents on registration of individual entrepreneurs and reporting documentation for all expenses (that is, what the money transferred by the state was spent on). Checks, service contracts, invoices and other papers are suitable as evidence.

Thus, in order to receive assistance from the state in the form of a subsidy for your own business, you must provide a good business plan based on a quality original idea. Employment center specialists are happy to consider and more often make a positive decision regarding ideas in the service or production sector. It is desirable that the business plan provides for the availability of additional jobs and the presence of your own initial capital at least in an amount equal to the assistance provided.

The amount of 58 thousand rubles may seem small to someone, but at the initial stages of creating your small business, they can become a significant support.

A quarter of the entire employed population of the country is provided with work thanks to small business. Working in accordance with rapidly changing market requirements, this group of active population produces a range of products and services, thereby serving the bulk of consumers. However, more than half of people who want to open their own business remain at the stage of conversations and dreams.

The state provides financial assistance for small business

Many people dream of starting their own business. Freely managing your time, being your own boss is a pleasant prospect. But most people have to say goodbye to their dream before they even begin to put it into practice. The reason for this is the lack of funds to open a business.

Some manage to open small business and start working. But at a certain stage, the lack of funds can become an obstacle to the further successful development of the business.

In these cases, do not despair. You should know that the state provides material assistance to small businesses, providing small ones to open and run their own business.

The Russian government has developed a special program to subsidize small businesses. Any novice businessman or owner of a working production has the right to receive financial assistance for opening and promoting a business.

A subsidy is a gratuitous allocation of certain amounts, it should not be confused with or loans. The state aims to support private entrepreneurs and small businesses. Subsidies are directed to strictly defined sectors, in the development of which the state is interested in the short term.

The amount of payments depends on the regional authorities and can only be spent for certain purposes (also determined by the local authorities):

  • purchase of equipment;
  • purchase of raw materials, materials;
  • purchase of intangible assets: patents, technologies.

Subsidies are issued only if the following conditions are met:

  6. All allocated funds are spent during the year. Funds not used during the calendar year must be returned to the state.

After a year from the date of receipt of the subsidy, the entrepreneur must account for each ruble spent. In some cases, the duration of the subsidy lasts 2 years or more.

The Employment Center is responsible for issuing subsidies for the unemployed who want to start a business. Target subsidies for the development of certain sectors of the economy are distributed by the Centers for Entrepreneurship Support together with local authorities.

Another condition for granting a subsidy: the Employment Center does not provide an appropriate job for the grant applicant.

A special commission reviews the submitted documents, conducts an interview, and makes a decision. If the decision is positive, an agreement is concluded between the SZN and the grant recipient. The money will be transferred to his personal account. The amount depends on the region, but usually it is a small amount of money, it will not work to open a more or less serious business.

Spending must be targeted. The money should be directed to the following tasks:

Subsidies from local governments

To receive more substantial assistance (up to 500 thousand rubles), an entrepreneur needs to contact local authorities.

The list is the same as when applying to the TsZN. After collecting all the papers, you should take them to the local Department for the development of small and medium-sized businesses. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis, so the main condition for receiving cash payments is to be able to interest the members of the commission, to prove that this particular project deserves attention and support.

Due to the fact that the amount of the grant is rather large, it is necessary to be prepared for constant checks and reports. It is necessary to prove the intended use of funds, otherwise they will have to be returned.

What to look out for

Subsidized production involves the creation of new jobs

When applying for state support, a novice entrepreneur should remember:

  1. Subsidized production should be a priority for the region. This increases the chance of getting a grant.
  2. Subsidies are not allocated for the development of businesses related to tobacco or alcohol production, real estate, rental and supply.
  3. Subsidized production involves the creation of new jobs.
  4. The entrepreneur must invest simultaneously with the state subsidy at least 40-50% of the total amount provided for in the business plan.

The specific one depends on the conditions of the individual funding program. The more the businessman himself is ready to invest in his enterprise, the greater the amount he can count on.

When developing a business plan, it should be remembered that subsidies are not allocated to deliberately unprofitable production. The lower the risk, the more likely the subsidy will be approved.

Other types of state support for small businesses

Federal and regional targeted programs aimed at providing services to start-up entrepreneurs who assume:

  1. Providing the necessary information, training programs, conducting courses, seminars, consulting.
  2. Development of business infrastructure: creation of conditions for the development of entrepreneurship, business incubators, funds.
  3. Implementation of innovative programs and scientific and technical developments.
  4. Help start-up entrepreneurs legal matters, accounting consultations, in registration of licenses and allowing documents.

  • a subsidy for the purchase of equipment or fixed assets under leasing.

In addition to federal programs, each region has its own programs to support small and medium-sized businesses.

Business subsidies are a good remedy to support business and enterprising citizens who are able not only to start their own business, but also to develop it in the interests of their families and the entire state. This is what the State Program for Supporting Small and Medium Businesses is aimed at.
