A Round Table of Entrepreneurs of Small and Medium-sized Businesses in the Republic of Bashkortostan

A business meeting of small and medium-sized businesses with representatives of relevant authorities and departments took place at the site of the Central Office of the MFC of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The event was held in the format of a "round table". The main topic was the discussion of existing government measures to support business. Among the experts who spoke was the Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs of Bashkortostan, a member of the regional Representation of the Eurasian Peoples' Assembly Irina Abramova.

In her speech, she noted that in the republic there is a decrease in the number of applications from entrepreneurs in the field of control and supervision activities due to the fact that the control authorities give preference to preventive measures, rather than punishments and fines.

We talk a lot about prevention, in particular about preventive visits. Entrepreneurs often make the mistake of refusing professional visits, not realizing how convenient and useful it is. We encourage businesses to initiate preventive visits themselves. Entrepreneurs who have already done this were very satisfied. Entrepreneurs must understand that control bodies come not to punish, but to help, to clarify. And this is actually a free audit for business, - the Commissioner emphasized.

She also added that according to a sociological survey conducted in early 2023, most entrepreneurs consider doing business in Bashkortostan safe.
