The Alliance of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises of Moldova (AIM), in the framework of the project “Development of Ecosystem of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises” that is financed by the Swiss Cooperation Office, has launched the Small Business Guidebook in support of the national entrepreneurs, IPN reports.
This is the first guidebook that was publicly consulted in the southern, central and northern districts of Moldova. Among the stakeholders that took part in the designing of the guidebook are entrepreneurs working in different areas, development organizations, 13 business support organizations, public functionaries and teachers, students and young people.
Liliana Busuioc, of the Alliance of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises of Moldova, said the guidebook is intended for all the support organizations and organizations that deal with entrepreneurial education. This is a roadmap for all those who want to start a business or who run a business started not more than three years ago.
The guidebook is divided into two: introduction to business and information about how to start a business in Moldova, and business instruments. It is accessible in three languages, namely Romanian, Russian, and English. The information will be updated regularly and is already available in a digital format, said AIM president David Smith, senior editor of the guidebook.
“We aim to support a better business climate, increased access to qualified personnel and to accessible financing and access to improved knowledge and services for business development,” stated Cristina Cojocaru, Economic Development and Employment Program Officer at the Swiss Cooperation Office.
