Business grants from EFSE up to 60 000 euros of support
Agroprosperis Bank, in partnership with the European Fund for Southeast Europe (EFSE), offers Ukrainian micro, small, and medium-sized businesses access to financing with grant support designed to address the challenges of war — helping them adapt to new conditions, strengthen liquidity, and enhance resilience and competitiveness.
Grants are available to support working capital, relocation, asset restoration, business transformation, and the preservation of operations and jobs during wartime.
Businesses that have already obtained, or plan to obtain, financing from Agroprosperis Bank may qualify for international grants in the form of non-repayable financial assistance. This is a unique opportunity to secure stability and foster growth, even in the face of today’s extraordinary challenges.
