On Friday, February 11, Tatarstan entrepreneurs will be able to order 9 regional services online on the Digital Platform for Small and Medium Enterprises on the СМП.РФ domain. By the end of April, 16 more regional services will appear on the platform.
On February 7, 11 online assistant services needed to start and run a business launched on the Digital Platform for Entrepreneurs across the country. According to the SME Corporation, by the end of the year there will be more than 15 of them. The list of services was determined by the entrepreneurs themselves, who participated in the development of the platform. Currently, it is working throughout Russia in a test mode.
A separate block highlights regional support measures that can be obtained online. The Republic of Tatarstan became one of the first regions of the country to digitize services for business. From February 11, entrepreneurs and self-employed of Tatarstan will have online access to 9 services of the My Business Center, subordinated to the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan, the Entrepreneurship Support Fund. These are services for promoting, certifying and popularizing products, bookkeeping, training and participation in exhibitions and fairs, entering an organization into the register of social entrepreneurs and obtaining places in co-working spaces. Also, for those individuals who are just planning to start their own business, a service for registering an individual entrepreneur or LLC will be available. By April of this year, the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan, together with subordinate organizations, will increase the number of digital services in the region to 25.
“2022 has been declared the year of digitalization in Tatarstan, and we understand that now it is extremely important and timely to transfer interaction with entrepreneurs to the online plane. This will make it possible to simplify and increase the efficiency of communication between business and the state, accurately offer truly in-demand measures to the needs of each individual entrepreneur, as well as receive feedback that will help improve the quality of services and support from the state,” said the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic Tatarstan - Minister of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan Midkhat Shagiakhmetov.
“The launch of the Digital Platform for test operation is only the beginning of a long journey. Our global goal is to simplify the work of entrepreneurs, including in terms of interaction with the state. Together with businesses, we must identify the services they need and digitize them. An entrepreneur will no longer need to search for information on hundreds of different sites and portals - most of the services he is interested in will be in one place, including regional ones. It is very important that the Republic of Tatarstan pays close attention to digitalization, actively leads and develops its regional financial and non-financial measures to support business,” said Alexander Isaevich, General Director of the SME Corporation.
The press service of the SME Corporation notes that during the year, additional services will be integrated at the request of business and commercial platforms. The main selection criterion is that the service must be in demand by entrepreneurs.
Recall that the digital platform for small and medium-sized businesses was developed by the SME Corporation together with the Ministry of Economic Development. Its creation is envisaged by the national project to support entrepreneurship, which is supervised by First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov.
