Representatives of SMEs greeted the VAT increase on January 1 as the beginning of a difficult period of survival. At the same time, state support for existing and aspiring entrepreneurs in the Russian Federation has not disappeared. It has become more personalized. Let’s talk with the experts biz-l.ruwhat specific measures are we talking about, and who can apply for them.
Who and where will they help?
There are no exceptions among the areas: shops, studios, production facilities, carriers, etc. — everyone can apply for benefits, grants and compensation in one way or another. But each region and different businesses have their own requirements.
All information about help and more than three dozen online services are grouped on msp.rf.
In person in the regions, you can contact the My Business centers. Find contacts of the local branch on the website mybusiness.rf in the “Center in my region” section.
A prerequisite for receiving most subsidies is proper accounting and reporting. Therefore, many entrepreneurs immediately budget price for VLSI accounting and high-quality equipment to automate processes and not worry about delays.
Preferential loans and umbrellas
In 26, the limit of the federal preferential lending program increased. The minimum amount has been reduced to RUB 25 million.
If there is not enough collateral, you can use the so-called. “umbrella” lending—The SME Corporation will guarantee up to 50% of the loan amount (but up to a billion rubles) for a period of up to 10 years. The list of industries that can qualify for the measure is constantly growing. Look for the current one on the official website of the organization corpmsp.ru.
Grants for students, mothers and pensioners
A student startup with a registered LLC can receive a million rubles from the fasie.ru Innovation Promotion Fund.
There is a competition program “Mom Entrepreneur” for women with children. The winners of the regional stage receive 150,000 rubles, the federal stage — up to a million.
It’s never too late to start your own business. Generation 60+ can compete for the Silver Start grant (up to RUB 150,000). You need to register on the website silverstart.rf, take a financial literacy course, officially become an entrepreneur and develop a project that is a candidate for a grant.
Support by Industry
Priority areas in 2026: IT, tourism (including auto tourism), children’s goods, agro-industrial complex and creative industries.
The following are available to farmers: a grant for farm development (up to 30 million rubles), “Agrotourism” (up to 10 million), “Agromotivator” for SVO participants (up to 7 million).
IT companies have tax preferences: 5% income tax until 2030, reduced insurance premiums, as well as preferential mortgages and military deferments for employees.
Innovative enterprises can take a closer look at the “Take Off — From Startup to IPO” program to attract additional financing for the implementation of their project. MTK will accept applications for the status of a small technology company at vzlet.economy.gov.ru/investors.
In the tourism industry, the VAT exemption has been extended for operators (until year 27) and hotels (until year 30). Subsidies are available for the construction of modular hotels and beach development.
Self-employed and low-income
The self-employed are equal to SMEs to receive benefits. They can take out loans of up to a million rubles from microfinance organizations.
And citizens with an officially confirmed income below the regional subsistence level can try to get up to 350,000 to start their own business. The application is accepted through State Services or local social security offices (they will also advise you whether you fall under the conditions of state assistance and what needs to be done for this).
