How to take 300 thousand rubles from the state and not return

You can take 300 thousand rubles from the state and not give it back. We give detailed instructions for those who have lost their jobs.

In the regions of Russia, there is a program for providing grants to start-up entrepreneurs. Anyone registered as individual entrepreneurHaving collected the documents, he can receive a free loan from the state in the amount of 160 to 300 thousand rubles, depending on the region. In total, the state spent about 2 billion rubles to finance this program. Now about 40 regions of Russia are participating in it.
Take and not give

To receive money, you need to register as a small business entity. Then fill out an application in a special form and a questionnaire with passport data and information about education - they are published on the websites of local administrations. You also need to provide a certificate of the average number of employees and a copy of an extract from the unified state register of legal entities or individual entrepreneurs. A novice entrepreneur will also need a copy of a certificate of absence of tax and payment arrears and a copy of a certificate of state registration.

Depending on the region, the governing bodies may also require a copy of the notification of registration with the territorial body of the pension fund and a certificate from the bank on opening a current account. The entrepreneur needs to attach to the documents an estimate of the costs of the business project completed in a certain form (the form is also published on the websites of local authorities). For the correct preparation of the estimate, city authorities hold special seminars, which, depending on the decision of the authorities, may also be paid. A certificate of training is also attached to the set of documents, which is then agreed upon by the business development institutions in the regions.

After approval, the business project is evaluated by a special commission, which includes representatives of the regional government, heads of business incubators and public associations. The members of the commission make decisions collectively. For each of the projects, they give scores and then display the overall GPA. Projects with the highest average score receive grant support. “From March to today, we have already passed nine commissions, 112 sets of documents have been submitted, of those that were considered, 22 projects received money,” the Cherepovets Urban Development Agency told Infox.ru.

Spend it all

To get the money, the company needs less than a year. The entrepreneur should spend the money received only during the calendar year and only for the targeted needs of the business project. If it is found that the money was spent on other needs, the entrepreneur may be obliged to return it. If during the year not all funds were spent, the commission may oblige the entrepreneur to return the balance. Alcohol, tobacco, real estate, car rental or home appliances cannot receive grants.

Pancakes instead of innovation

Entrepreneurs say that the allocated money will not be enough to create innovative industries, despite the fact that this area has been declared a state priority. “The simplest thing with this money is to open something in the consumer market, such as a pancake kiosk. When it comes to industry, manufacturing with machine tools requires a lot of energy costs. One connection will require only 7-8 million rubles. You can try to create a website promotion company or an online store, ”says Alexei Tretyakov, chairman of the St. Petersburg Small Business Association. Nevertheless, according to him, the interest in receiving grants is very high among the city's entrepreneurs.

Ilya Khandrikov, Chairman of the All-Russian Association For an Honest Market, doubts the effectiveness of even targeted assistance: “There is an established opinion among specialists that 5% of the population can be engaged in entrepreneurship. Not everyone has an entrepreneurial ability. It is not necessary to spend this money of a big mind. There can be no efficiency from this money, or it can be unprofitable. "
