100 entrepreneurs of Tatarstan will be awarded the status of "social enterprise"

Tatarstan continues to accept applications and documents for joining the List of Social Enterprises in 2021. The work is carried out by the Republican Ministry of Economy and its subordinate structure – the Center for Innovations in the Social Sphere of the non-profit microcredit company "Entrepreneurship Support Fund of the Republic of Tatarstan". 

At the end of May, the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan held a meeting of the interdepartmental commission to consider issues of recognition of small and medium-sized businesses as social enterprises. 108 applications from socially oriented businesses of the republic were submitted for consideration by the commission, which, in addition to the Ministry of Economy, includes representatives of public organizations, the executive body of state authority and the Business Ombudsman of the Republic of Tatarstan, 100 of which will be included in the List.

It is worth noting that the meetings of the interdepartmental commission are held on a regular monthly basis and are held as the necessary number of applications for the assignment of the status of "social enterprise" from the business of the republic are received.  

Entrepreneurs who provide employment for socially unprotected (vulnerable) citizens or the sale of goods (works, services) produced by such citizens, as well as those engaged in the production of goods (works, services) intended for this category of citizens, can enter the List and receive the status of a "social enterprise". Another selection criterion is the implementation of activities aimed at achieving socially useful goals and contributing to the solution of social problems of society, for example, activities for the provision of services in the field of preschool education, services for recreation and recreation of children, cultural and educational activities, and others.

Business entities included in the List can count on additional opportunities to receive financial and non-financial support, including a preferential microloan "Social Entrepreneur" at a rate equal to ½ of the key rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and grants for doing business up to 500 thousand rubles.
