Small technology companies in Mordovia can find out their development index
The SME Corporation has launched a study to form an index of the development of small technology companies. The calculation will take into account the main performance indicators, including financial ones. The index will help to obtain financing under preferential lending programs within the framework of the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy", objectively assess the state of enterprises for making strategic decisions on further development.
"Access to preferential financing is critically important for small technology companies. A long production cycle does not always allow for a rhythmic replenishment of working capital, not to mention expansion and development. This year, in April, we relaunched the preferential high-tech program, and in the first few months the volume of applications exceeded the planned targets. This indicates the demand for a tool that allows small technology companies to develop and integrate more actively into cooperative chains to ensure the technological sovereignty of the country," - said Alexander Isaevich, CEO of SME Corporation.
The funds raised will allow companies to increase production volumes and expand the range of products, as well as create additional jobs.
The program allows companies to receive credit funds at a discounted rate of "key minus 7%" for the entire loan period. They can be used both for the implementation of investment projects of the enterprise, and for turnaround purposes.
Among the key criteria that a company must meet in order to receive a preferential loan: at least 100 million rubles, as well as a revenue growth rate of at least 10% over the past two years. The maximum term of preferential financing is 3 years.
