Abstract

Development and state support of small and medium-sized enterprises in Russia is a necessary condition for growth of the national economy. The state support is becoming especially significant, which effective implementation depends on efficient tools and mechanisms. Relevant issues are the creation and development of infrastructure of the state support. The aim of the article is the analysis of state support programs of small and medium-sized enterprises in modern Russian conditions. Works of the domestic and foreign scientists dealing with problems of functioning of small and medium-sized enterprises including their state support and its efficiency formed the methodological base of this research. As information base of research were used internet portals of the Russian Federation authorities. General scientific research methods were used in the data processing: the comparative analysis, synthesis, grouping, generalization. The Russian authorities and the development institutions through which the state performs its support for small and medium-sized enterprises are revealed in the article. The features of state support programs within each subject of management are researched. The main recipients of support, condition of obtaining and the amount of support are provided. The advantages and disadvantages of state support programs are revealed. Advantages are connected with the diversified nature of state support programs, the formation of a multi-channel support system. Disadvantages are connected with the presence of a set of restrictions that affect the development of Russian small and medium-sized enterprises, the lack of policy to encourage the regions and municipalities to implement their own support programs, adapted to the economic condition of the subject. The results of the analysis will allow estimating the influence of state support programs on indicators of success of small and medium-sized enterprises in Russia in further researches.
