The Government has approved special conditions under the Vlasna Sprava (Own Business) programme for creative entrepreneurs. This was announced by Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko following the Cabinet of Ministers meeting on 26 August.

From now on, representatives of the creative sector can access state grants, specifically:

  • UAH 100,000 for freelance individual entrepreneurs;
  • UAH 200,000 for businesses creating 1 job;
  • UAH 500,000 for businesses creating 2 jobs with 70/30 co-financing;
  • UAH 1 million for businesses creating 4 jobs with 70/30 co-financing.

“The programme covers the film and video industry, libraries, museums, theatres, architecture, design, media, photography, game and software development, PR and advertising, individual artistic activities such as crafting unique folk art products, and more,” the Head of Government said.

It should be noted that Vlasna Sprava is one of the most effective government programmes supporting small and medium-sized businesses. Over three years, 28,000 Ukrainians have received grants to start or develop their businesses. The programme also actively supports veterans, with over 2,000 combat participants receiving grants.
