Advice and Support for SMEs
Advice for Small Businesses
The EBRD has been deploying its Advice for Small Businesses (ASB) for over 20 years with the help of EU funding and, since 2015, has developed a specific pocket of funding linked directly to WB EDIF. Under ASB, EBRD arranges for local and international consultants to offer support under all aspects of enterprise management, including accounting, financial reporting, marketing, sales, strategy, human resource management and many more.
