The Own Business grant program, a component of the Government's eRobota project, was launched in July 2022 to support micro and small businesses. Under the program, entrepreneurs can receive grants of up to UAH 250,000 and start or expand their businesses.

All the program's features, conditions and algorithms for obtaining a grant, instructions for filling out a business plan and current program results are now available on a separate landing page from the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine at https://vlasnaspravagrant.com.ua.

Since the program's launch, more than 14,000 Ukrainians have become winners and have been given an opportunity to start or expand their businesses. Funds under the Own Business program can be spent on the purchase of equipment, raw materials, rent, marketing and advertising services, commercial concessions, and leasing. The State invests UAH 3.5 billion in business development through grants.

"I am grateful to Ukrainian entrepreneurs who work legally, pay taxes and fees and thus support both our economy and army. We, on our part, will promote business development through Government support programs. This year, we plan to give out more than 15,000 grants for business start-up or development, so follow the link on the website and apply," commented Yuliia Svyrydenko, First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Economy of Ukraine.
