The government launches the eWork program, under which the state will provide applicants with grants in the amount of up to UAH 250,000 to start their own business. This was announced by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmihal.

“We plan to issue 20,000 such grants per year.. Accordingly, the annual budget of the program is 5 billion. UAH. We are talking about the opportunity to launch any micro-business, such as tailoring and footwear, dry cleaning, a service or repair center, service stations, installation work, etc.. "

Any Ukrainian who does not work at enterprises and does not conduct other business can take part in the program.

To receive a grant, you will need to submit an application through the Diya portal or a branch of Oschadbank, as well as a business plan. Within 10 working days, specialists from Oschadbank and the State Employment Center will evaluate the project. If he meets the criteria of the program, grant funds will be transferred to a special account.

In addition, as part of the new eWork project, the government approved programs of non-repayable grants for farmers to create gardens and greenhouses. In this case, the amounts of grants are calculated in millions of hryvnias and both farmers and agricultural companies will be able to apply for them..

Thus, under the program of partial compensation for the cost of creating greenhouses, the grant amount will be from 5 to 7 million. UAH. Program participants can be both private entrepreneurs and agricultural companies and farms that own or lease land for a period of at least 25 years.

An interesting experience: the Japanese government gives grants to companies that hire Ukrainians. Perhaps it makes sense to stimulate Ukrainian companies in this way.?
