Is Entrepreneurship in Russia Possible?

The emergence of a market economy entailed the creation of new institutions, which include entrepreneurship in Russia. It began to form in the late 20 th century in the form of cooperatives and fartsovschikov. Entrepreneurial activity was not organized and was not supported by the legislation, therefore had a spontaneous, uncontrollable character. Those, who in the past were called fartsovschikami, today are called distributors. To date , entrepreneurship in Russia today is not an attempt by a small number of people to get out of the yoke of leadership, by building their own business, relying on the mass demand of the population for a certain group of goods. The desire for independence is a consequence of economic development and the desire of people to be realized in the existing conditions.

It is worth recalling that small business in developed countries is one of the significant items of income to the state budget. Europe and America value their entrepreneurs and try to support them in every way, understanding that the welfare of the country as a whole depends on their income. At the same time, entrepreneurship in Russia is not even a significant layer, and even more a support for the state budget. Realizing this problem, the government of the country is trying to stimulate the population to self-employment. So from the state budget a subsidy of about 60 thousand rubles is paid to open their own business to those who could protect their business plan before the commission of the employment center. To this amount, the heads of regions add additional funds, based on the capabilities of the region. A big plus in defense is innovative business in Russia, which supports the concept of state modernization. Following him goes agriculture. This choice is explained by the shortage of jobs in the villages and a low standard of living in them.

For many people, the answer to the question is very important: how realistic is entrepreneurship in Russia and is it worth doing? It is very difficult to give a single-valued answer, because many factors need to be taken into account. On the one hand, the state offers various subsidies to open its own business, but their size is so small compared to the prices for renting premises, equipment and other things that it is very difficult to consider them as real help in the formation of small businesses. On the other hand, the flourishing corruption and bureaucracy in the country significantly slow the process of opening a business and increase its cost in some cases by several times. Hence again the logical question: what is really needed for entrepreneurship in Russia to turn into a profitable enterprise?

First, the legislative framework that takes into account all the nuances from the moment of registration of a legal entity to the official termination of its activities. The absence of laws, where everything is clearly spelled out, leads to the fact that everyone treats them in their favor. In addition, the item can include the requirements for each type of business, the conditions for its opening, reducing the number of necessary documents to a reasonable minimum. This will save you from wasting time, effort and money of a beginning entrepreneur from going to numerous instances.

Secondly, the reduction of tax charges for the newly-opened companies. You can not talk about profitability, when almost all the proceeds go to pay taxes. Entrepreneurship is a way of self-employment, which should increase the incomes of a citizen, and not forced tax slavery, which is also difficult to get out of.

With the right, rational approach to solving all these problems, Russia will be able to make a successfully functioning economic layer out of small business, which will bring profit not only to the state, but also to the owner himself.
