Grant for micro and small businesses in the Mykolaiv region

Grant programs from international organizations are a significant support for Ukrainian businesses in the conditions of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.

This is explained by the fact that with their help new jobs are created, grantees are able to realize their entrepreneurial potential and support the economy of the state in such a difficult time.

However, not all citizens of Ukraine know what international grants currently exist. This shows the relevance of this topic.

Therefore, in this article, we will talk about a grant for micro and small businesses in the Mykolaiv region from the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

What is the purpose of this grant?

The main goal of the grant program is to promote the recovery of Ukraine's economy through the creation of new jobs and production support, as well as meeting the vital needs of the population in critical goods and services.

What requirements are established for future grant recipients?

General criteria for applying for the grant program:

• the enterprise must carry out its activities in the Koblivska or Berezanska communities of the Mykolaiv region;
• the enterprise must be classified as a small or micro-enterprise, officially registered in Ukraine for at least 1 year before the application is submitted;
• the ultimate beneficiary of the enterprise is a citizen of Ukraine;

In addition, micro-enterprises must employ at least 10 people and create at least 1 workplace using grant funds from the grantor.

A small enterprise must employ 10 or more people and create at least 2 jobs using grant funds from the grantor.

Important! Priority in considering applications will be given to those enterprises that suffered from active hostilities in the country, that is, were damaged, completely destroyed or moved to another territory. The organizers of the grant program will contact only the selected candidates.

How many grant applications can be submitted?

The terms of the program stipulate that only one application is accepted from one person or company. If more applications are submitted, the grantor will reject them.

Importantly! One enterprise under the program can apply only for either a micro or a small grant under the program. It is not allowed to apply for two grants at the same time. Before filling out the application, be sure to review the criteria for receiving grant funds.

What is the total number of grants planned to be provided?

The grant provider (IOM) plans to provide 5 to 10 grants for small and micro-enterprises to each community.

What amount of grant funds can be received under the program?

For micro-enterprises, the program provides for the receipt of grant funds in the amount of up to 5 thousand US dollars, and for small ones - up to 10 thousand US dollars.
