Invitations to the SME Days forum in Ukraine, scheduled to take place from 17-18 October in Kyiv.

3% standard conditions discount on a business loan from ProCredit Bank. This offer is only valid for loan applications submitted before 1 March 2014.

“Having worked directly with entrepreneurs in Ukraine for more than 10 years, we can proudly say that we are surrounded by many people who truly love their work and are happy to share their experiences. These are the most successful developing businesses in which not only money has been invested, but also talent, strength and soul. On the one hand, this photo contest can be a creative outlet for the participants, a way to share their achievements with the public. On the other hand, it can be a good form of advertisement and a means of searching for business partners. Furthermore, it allows the winners to take advantage of the bank’s special offers for businesses and save significantly on the interest payment of a loan. We are confident that we can collect a colourful and interesting exhibition of works that will attract public attention, in particular with regard to small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine”, says Oleksandr Povshedniy, Deputy General Manager.
