Abstract

In the current conditions prevailing in our country, one of the priorities of the state is to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It is assumed that SMEs, along with other enterprises and organizations, through active participation in the policy of import substitution, should ensure the future of the domestic economy, become one of the guarantors of national security and national interests. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, business support developed at a slow pace, but during the pandemic it became more active. As one of the support tools, the SME corporation was created, and it took an important place in the activities of business entities. Now it is a reliable digital platform that implements many support measures. Based on statistical data for the first half of 2022, we can say that thanks to the corporation, the number of SMEs has increased, the average wage has increased. The sphere of small and medium-sized businesses is considered the leader in the number of employees thanks to the SME corporation and the national project “Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship and support for individual entrepreneurial initiative”. The authors conclude that significant measures of state assistance, active digital transformation of society, have led to the fact that SMEs have reached a new level of development.
