The entrepreneur participating in the SMO increased the profitability of the business by 80% due to state support

Support is provided by the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan and its subordinate organizations under the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy".

Thanks to the borrowed funds received in July 2025, the veteran of his military acquired a personal car and began operating in the field of passenger transportation.

The entrepreneur plans to increase the number of cars purchased and open his taxi company by 2030.

"Today, the support of SMO participants in the republic is aimed at their rapid adaptation in accordance with a set of ongoing measures aimed at helping them open and develop their own businesses. Financial and non-financial support is provided in Tatarstan, including free business training and retraining courses for SMO veterans and their families," said Natalia Kondratova, First Deputy Minister and Director of the Entrepreneurship Development Department.

It should be recalled that since the beginning of the year in Tatarstan, more than 400 million rubles have been given to entrepreneurs participating in the SMO, as well as to enterprises whose employees serve in the special operation zone.

Microfinance support is provided as part of a special product "SMO Support" in the amount of up to 5 million rubles at a minimum rate of 1% per annum in the Russian Federation through the SME.RF Digital platform.

Under the terms of the SMO Support product, companies whose founders are SMO participants or veterans or their relatives, as well as those who have entered into an employment contract with a participant in a special military operation or who have sent one or more employees to military service under a contract can receive a preferential loan at 1% per annum in the amount of up to 5 million for a period of up to three years.
