YASNO is launching a grant program for small and medium-sized businesses owned by veterans. This is an opportunity for each of the 20 winning businesses to receive financial assistance for 30 thousand kWh consumed within 6 months and save up to UAH 300 thousand on electricity bills. This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to the company’s press service.
on September 9, applications for participation in the YASNO Grant Program for small and medium-sized businesses were launched and will last until October 19. This is the first program to provide financial assistance to pay electricity bills.
A YASNO grant is a simple financial assistance without complicated applications, business plans and reports. There is no need to engage consultants or other assistance to participate. To become a participant, it is enough to fill out a simple form on the website within the specified deadline and wait for the winners to be determined on October 29, 2025, using the random.org service.
Representatives of small and medium-sized businesses that are clients of YASNO LLC, namely
- owned by veterans or their share in the business is at least 50% (for veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war since 2014 of the following categories: combatants, persons with disabilities and war veterans)
- the average monthly consumption by the business for the last 6 months did not exceed 15 thousand kWh.
“Business is the engine of the economy. And veteran business is also an additional opportunity for combatants to restore themselves through work and transform their own business, change it, and improve it. We want to give light to veteran businesses. So, at the first stage, we will provide 20 grants in the form of non-refundable financial assistance to pay electricity bills. This is an opportunity for each winning business to save about UAH 300 thousand and focus on business development and forget about electricity bills. No complicated procedures. You just need to be our client, confirm your veteran status, meet the criteria of a small and medium-sized business (SME) representative and submit an application, which takes a maximum of 5 minutes. You support the country, and we want to support you,” said Sergiy Kovalenko, CEO of YASNO.
