On November 7, 2020, Federal Law No. 349-FZ of 10/27/2020 entered into force. It makes it easier for entrepreneurs to return to the list of SMEs if they were previously excluded from the Register by their own mistake.
Now, on the tenth day of each month, information about legal entities and sole proprietors that belong to SMEs as of the first day of this month will be entered into the Unified Register of Small and Medium-sized Businesses.
The register has now been formed taking into account the specified provisions of the law. The number of small and medium-sized businesses increased by 51,000: about 12,000 legal entities and 40,000 individual entrepreneurs were added.
There are 5.67 million small and medium-sized businesses in the register. Of these, 2.36 million are legal entities and 3.31 million are individual entrepreneurs.
His information is accessed more than 50 million times every year. Using this information helps the government to support small and medium–sized businesses more effectively, and for the latter to choose reliable counterparties.
