Abstract

The article highlights the main directions of state support for small and medium-sized businesses and the functions of the state as a supporter of business development, which consists in providing not only financial but also information support, creation and maintenance of institutional support and infrastructure. The reasons of ineffective activity of the enterprises, connected with the unbalanced state policy and the lack of protection from the state are also considered. The current directions of support of small and medium-sized businesses, including those taking into account European programs, are described. State support for small and medium-sized businesses today can be considered insufficiently effective, as evidenced by a number of examples and the consequences of ill-considered decisions of the authorities, which, with the aim of stabilizing the economy in the state, have a tangible impact on the activities of small businesses and endanger the existence of a significant part of it. The development for small and medium-sized businesses is important for the country in terms of social and economic character. Effective development of this sector of the economy requires state support at the proper level. Ukraine does not have such support because of the large number of deterrent factors. A number of measures have been proposed for small and medium-sized businesses development. Among them – the universal methods of state regulation and acceleration. Also, in order to stimulate the activities for small and medium-sized businesses, it was proposed to consider the experience of European countries. Small business abroad serves as a basis for a stable economy and is the basis for the EU's social and economic development. Small business stimulates the development of competition, the introduction of the latest technology. Therefore, European society for small and medium-sized businesses, the main purpose of which is to balance the interests of the state and business, provide optimal conditions for entrepreneurship, increase the competitiveness o for small and medium-sized businesses and the country in particular. Ukraine has no clear strategy for regulating for small and medium-sized businesses, the financing system for the formation and development of small businesses is imperfect, legal and organizational issues for micro enterprises remain unmanageable.
