Today the Serbian Business Registers Agency (SBRA) organized a gathering entitled “100.000 START UP SERBIA”, to mark the 100,000th company registration.

„The first 100,000 have already given Serbia a push! However, our work has only just begun! We need many more new companies, many good business ideas and a huge joint effort to gain the economic strength that Serbia deserves! The companies registered so far, have made their first steps, the state is right by their side, to facilitate administrative procedures for business registration, to assist them in getting the most favorable loans to successfully start their private business,” stated Mr. Zvonko Obradović, SBRA Director.
Ms. Andrijana Glavina, the owner of the 100,000th registered company, a producer of industrial packaging, will apply for a start-up loan with the Development Fund and SME Agency.
