Evolution of State Support Mechanisms for Small and Medium-sized Businesses
( Pp. 59-64)

The purpose of this article is to study the evolution of mechanisms of state support for small and medium-sized enterprises (hereinafter referred to as SOE SMEs). Within the framework of the study, the existing bodies related to the implementation of the SOE of SMEs were considered. The authors considered the main functions performed by these bodies, and also identified the features of their functioning. In addition, a time frame was defined reflecting the transformation of the SOE of SMEs. In the course of the study, the key principles of the SOE of SMEs were considered, which are observed by all support bodies. Further, the activities of the key bodies of the SOE of SMEs were studied to determine the main changes related to the mechanisms of this support. Based on the analysis of the transformations carried out, the current features of the SOE of SMEs were considered. It should be noted that in the course of the development of SOE SMEs, the number of bodies has been constantly changing. This is due not only to the distribution of tasks described above, but also to the fact that some bodies had higher efficiency compared to others. Conclusions. Currently, there is a complex of GP SME bodies, within which each structural element has its own functions. The transformation of the SOE of SMEs consists in improving support mechanisms, increasing the level of coherence between support bodies, as well as clarifying the goals and objectives of supporting the sector in question.
