Every district of Ulaanbaatar will
have its own SME business center soon, under a program launched in January.
Apart from providing training on entrepreneurship, identifying profitable areas
of business, and help in finding markets, these centers will also offer
graduates concessional loans and some other forms of support in the initial
months to put them on their feet. These may include some space where no rent
will be charged, and the user will have to pay only for the electricity.
There will be special programs for women entrepreneurs. The first of these was
recently held in Bayanzurkh district where 30 female heads of households who
already run some business attended a workshop to improve their skills.
