In September, according to the results of the meeting of the Interdepartmental Commission to consider the recognition of small and medium-sized businesses as social enterprises in the Moscow Region in 2022, 795 individual entrepreneurs and organizations were recognized as such. 

Of these, 301 companies submitted applications for the first time, 494 business entities confirmed this status again.

In just nine months of this year, 850 applications were submitted, 55 were rejected.

It is worth noting that for the same period last year, 254 fewer applications were submitted – only 596, of which 556 SMEs were recognized as social enterprises based on the results of the review.

- There are about 7 thousand subjects in the All-Russian Register of Social Enterprises. The Moscow Region consistently holds a leading position in the number of such entrepreneurs, and their number is constantly growing. The Government and the Governor pay great attention to the support of social institutions, development centers, private kindergartens and other facilities that provide recreation for the population. Having the opportunity to apply for grants, this type of business can expand and improve the quality of services provided, covering an increasing number of people. Thanks to this, pensioners can engage in creativity in a circle of like-minded people, and children can find new hobbies and develop useful skills. All this increases the level and quality of life in the region, - said the Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs in the Moscow Region Vladimir Golovnev.
