Ion Bahnaru in the Pat of Filipeni, raion Leova, laid the foundations for its business in 2021. The entrepreneur has invested all the money it has worked for 20 years abroad to open a small food shop in the centre of Leova. The business unit is located in the premises of self-creation, an economically advantageous location due to the permanent passenger flow.

Ion Bahnaru recently decided to expand its business by opening a fast-food business and accessed a loan under the Government Programme 373’. The site was equipped with a well-performing equipment to prepare products for a total value of more than RON 240 thousand. Nearly RON 180 thousand accessed it, in the form of a loan, through the “Same 373 programme”, while the remainder, around lei 60 thousand, was personal contributions.

“If there had not been a “Programme 373”, I would not have launched this entrepreneurial initiative. Under this funding instrument, I have managed to increase my investment capital to expand my business.”, he explained the entrepreneur.

The “373 programme”, supported by the Government of the Republic of Moldova, is a advantageous financial instrument for entrepreneurs who will strengthen their business. Through this programme, implemented by ODA and commercial banks in the country, entrepreneurs can access loans at affordable costs and funding times.
