The Coordination Group includes representatives of about 30 government agencies that provide various services to entrepreneurs.

Noting the importance of the activities of SME houses in terms of improving services to entrepreneurs, Niyazi Safarov stressed the importance of joint activities of government agencies in this area.

Chairman of the Board of SMBDA Orkhan Mammadov said that currently there are two SME houses in Khachmaz and Yevlakh, where more than 88,000 services have been provided to entrepreneurs. It was noted that the level of satisfaction of entrepreneurs with the services provided in SME homes is 99%. The experience of Yevlakh and Khachmaz SME houses gives grounds to say that SME houses are an important platform for entrepreneurs. The Baku SME House is expected to start operating in the near future and is currently being finalized. It is planned to provide G2B and B2B services to entrepreneurs at about 130 service desks at the Baku SME House. There will also be a center for startups, a mediation center and an SME development center.
