In 2024, Sber provided significant support to Moscow entrepreneurs, providing funding of over 270 billion rubles for small and micro businesses. These funds enabled the implementation of a wide range of business projects, including the launch of new enterprises, the modernization of existing production facilities, and the expansion of companies' activities.
Significant assistance to entrepreneurs was provided by subsidies from the Government of Moscow. As part of this initiative, Sber clients received compensation for the interest rate from the city budget on loans totaling more than 8 billion rubles. In total, more than 12.5 billion rubles were issued under federal and regional business support programs.
In addition, about 2,000 organizations that took out loans from Sber took advantage of the "umbrella" guarantee mechanism of the SME Corporation. This made it possible to successfully conclude transactions worth more than 20 billion rubles, which greatly simplified the attraction of borrowed capital for entrepreneurs.
Vice President of Sberbank – Chairman of the Moscow Bank Vyacheslav Tsybulnikov noted that Sber is actively cooperating with the Government of Moscow, contributing to the development of entrepreneurship. Since 2020, thanks to this joint work, more than 30 thousand entrepreneurs have been able to receive financial support from the city. In 2024, together with the Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development, a new program of preferential pre-export lending was launched, aimed at helping Moscow exporters enter foreign markets. "We will continue to support small businesses, creating favorable conditions for its development," Tsybulnikov emphasized.
Among the recipients of funding is the company LLC "ACADEMY-T", which has been cooperating with Sber for more than 20 years. The General Director of the company, Enver Saidovich Tokaev, said that in the first quarter of 2024, the organization took advantage of the preferential lending program and received funding secured by intellectual property. This allowed to expand production capacity by purchasing new equipment for the production of sports nutrition. Tokaev emphasized the transparency and clarity of the loan application process and expressed his readiness to take advantage of the financing opportunities offered by Sber and the Government of Moscow again.
Thanks to a comprehensive system of support for entrepreneurs and effective interaction between Sber and the city authorities, Moscow's small businesses have access to financial resources, which contributes to its sustainable development and growth.
