Finding money to grow your business is not easy, especially when access to credit is limited. In such circumstances, Ukrainian entrepreneurs are increasingly turning to grants as an alternative source of financing.
Where to look for grants for business?
There are many such opportunities in Ukraine – from state programs to international funds. 24 Channel tells us where to look for them.
First of all, it is worth knowing that the state grant program to support business, in particular for creating new jobs, has been extended in 2026. So, Ukrainians have a chance to receive from 100 thousand to 1 million hryvnias to develop their own business.
The money can be used for equipment purchases, raw material purchases, rent, marketing and advertising, and franchising. Among the mandatory conditions:
-
job creation;
-
operating for at least 3 years;
-
payment of taxes to the budget, in particular for the employment of workers.
Useful! You can submit an application and your own business plan, as well as find out the requirements and other details on the Diya portal.
