Yes, you can!
As part of the “Own Business” grant program of the government's eRobota project, the government has provided for the possibility of using part of the grant to pay for the rental of premises. This is an important decision, because business does not always start at home or in a garage - entrepreneurs often need an equipped place to work, communicate with customers, or produce.
According to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 738 dated 21.06.2022, up to 25% of the grant funds can be used to rent premises if it is directly related to doing business.
For example: if the grant amount is UAH 500,000, you have the full right to include up to UAH 125,000 in your business plan for renting a store, workshop, salon, coffee shop, office, or other space where you plan to operate.

Remember: creating a business plan is quite realistic, and starting your own business is possible. Believe in yourself and don't be afraid to take the first step. Ukraine supports those who take action!
