Russia (bbabo.net), - Poor citizens can conclude a social contract with the social security authorities and receive 250 thousand rubles for starting a business, the Ministry of Labor said. This will require proof of need, since the social contract is concluded with citizens or families whose average per capita income is below the subsistence level in the region.

The funds allocated for it are allowed to be used for the purchase of equipment, tools, inventory that a novice entrepreneur will need. For example, you can even buy a car or a bicycle if the purpose of the business is to provide courier services and the person justifies the need to purchase a vehicle. No more than 15% of the allocated amount is allowed to be spent on renting premises - that is, no more than 37.5 thousand rubles.

Under the terms of the social contract, entrepreneurial activity must be legal, therefore registration as an individual entrepreneur (IE) or self-employed is required.

The term of the social contract for starting a business is 12 months. During this time, social security officials can come with an inspection to make sure that the person is using the purchased equipment, providing services and making a profit from it. After all, the task of the social contract is to help a person overcome a difficult life situation and begin to provide for himself and his family on his own. In addition to financial support, he will also receive assistance in drawing up a business plan, cost estimates, and finding markets for products. Training is also possible.

You can also conclude a social contract in other areas. For example, to maintain a personal subsidiary farm. The amount of a lump sum payment on it is up to 100 thousand rubles. There is a social contract for a job search. In this case, the program may include preliminary training at the employment center or additional courses, internship, payments in the amount of the regional subsistence minimum within a month after the conclusion of the social contract, as well as within three months after employment. A social contract can also be for overcoming a difficult life situation, but for no more than 6 months. According to it, citizens can receive a monthly payment in the amount of the regional subsistence minimum, which can be used to purchase vital goods - food, clothing, shoes, medicines.

An individual adaptation program is drawn up for any social contract, that is, the help that can be provided for it: it can also be caring for disabled relatives, treatment of a family member from alcohol (drug) addiction.
