The Small Business Development Centres (SBDC) network is an absolutely new infrastructure format for micro and small business, implemented by Sberbank throughout the country. As of July 1, 2013, the Bank has over 140 operating SBDCs.
The main purpose of the Small Business Development Centres is to assist entrepreneurs in developing their personal skills and abilities, and in enhancing the efficiency of their business using the various instruments offered by Sberbank and its partners.
The Small Business Development Centre services are available to any entrepreneur all around the country, regardless of whether such entrepreneur is a customer of the Bank, and whether he or she is only starting a business or is the owner of a going concern.
Besides Sberbank’s financial services, entrepreneurs get additional services, designed to develop and enhance their business:
Consulting services by the Bank’s partners (non-commercial and commercial organisations)
- Free consultations
- Free seminars and training sessions
- Small-business loans
