According to the Government Portal, 15,980 entrepreneurs have already received grants to start or expand their businesses.

Since the launch of the government’s eRobota project in July 2022, a total of 1,000 documents have been issued:

14,694 microgrants for UAH 3.5 billion under the “Own Business” program;

– 657 grants for UAH 3.4 billion for the development of processing enterprises;

– 195 grants for UAH 860 million for horticulture and greenhouse development;

– 431 grants worth UAH 188 million to veterans and their families.

Anyone can apply for a grant, whether they’re an entrepreneur or not. Applications are submitted through the Diia portal with a business plan.

To get a grant, you have to create jobs. This can be one or two for a microgrant or several dozen for other programs.

The grant money is paid back to the state in taxes and fees paid by the company within three years.
