the initiator of the action – known businessman working in the field of passenger and cargo transportation, the founder of taxi service Sergey Knysh – was a guest of the online broadcast from the cycle “the Economy without virus”, run by the Corporation for the development of the Orenburg region. In conversation with the CEO of the Corporation Ignat Petukhov he talked about his new endeavor and shared his thoughts on what support you are waiting for the businessmen themselves.
– before We were actively involved in social projects. When the country was introduced by the anti-epidemic measures, the business was in a difficult situation, some began to blame the government. And I, like many, thinking: what can I do in these conditions? I am an entrepreneur person who is able to create something. And next to so many people, who are now much harder than us, – said Sergey Knysh. We went to social security, got a few addresses for large families. We visited them and realized that someone really bad. Without a moment’s hesitation, he first provided financial assistance, then spoke about what he saw colleagues in. Joined the project entrepreneurs – including from other cities. Began to call me with questions: where to get contacts on any list purchased. Help who than can. A friend here learned that lonely grandmother no refrigerator and bought her. One company allocates for the needy vegetables and fruit, others to buy products, deliver every day. Take part in our project people with an active lifestyle who need it.
the Businessman is sure: even in the context of quarantine and isolation to sit still and lowered his hands.
– If today your business cannot operate as before, it is necessary to solve – how can you rebuild? What is needed now? – advised colleagues the expert. – After all, if something dies something else is born, it is an eternal process. For example, many people today have shifted to delivery. We decided not to waste time, and strengthened what I do best — to transport people. Deliver only when you need something to reach out to someone or buy a specific product. If nothing is done, then, when anti-mode over, back to business will be problematic. Remember – even after the holidays for a long time people enter into a working rhythm, needs time to process the full start. The most important thing now is to keep the team.
As is known, in order to soften the blow to the economy in the period of the mode isolation in the region adopted a set of measures. Thus, the rent of municipal property for businessmen during the three spring months is actually free. In addition, in the area of reduced property tax for shopping centers. Accordingly, those who rents their space will be able to the landlords a discount on this value.
What steps I consider to be the most effective? If to speak about our own experience, we have managed to get a deferment on loans: the Bank has assured that six months may not pay at all, and ascended during this period interest will include the amount of debt and will be divided into equal shares. But transport is mostly bought in leasing. And it no delays no, – said the businessman. – In General, today all business are faced with the problem, and everyone is their own. But there are common – taxes, loans, rent. If the authorities will help to solve them – that’s good. Well, let me remind colleagues of the foundations of entrepreneurship: you always need to have funds in order for the company to survive the crisis, even if closed for two to three months. To paraphrase the proverb: the government helps those who help themselves.
during the live broadcast with the businessman received many questions from those wishing to participate in the charity project “Good businessman”.
– communicate – via my Instagram. The only request – if anybody didn’t reply right away, write again, – warned Sergey Knysh. I just don’t have time to track all the messages, especially because now every day I receive dozens of calls with words of gratitude.
