What is the SME Handbook?
The SME Handbook is a practical and useful tool for Small Business Community to introduce bureaucratic, legal, financial and startup topics needed to start and develop a successful business in Moldova. This is the first guide created in a participative way that involved more than 100 representatives from SMEs, education, business support organizations, local authorities and youth. This tool provides you with the best information and latest techniquest so that you can approach whatever business problem you are working on with the best information and tools possible.
We aim to give you the basic understanding of the business topic so that you can 1) plan and forecast and 2) know what questions you should be asking of accountants, lawyers, bureaucrats or whatever other person/group you need to engage with.
