Maof – Ministry of Economy and Industry

Maof activity for small and medium-sized businesses in the Southern and Shfela regions


Small and medium-sized businesses are the growth engine of Israel's economy.
We at BDO's Public Operations Division are proud to operate Maof - the agency for small and medium-sized businesses' field operations network - since 2014 in the Central region of Israel, and from 2020, in the South and Shfela regions of Israel. Our work is driven by a deep commitment to helping businesses grow, develop, and meet market challenges while bringing the highest standards to public service.

The Maof branches we operate from Rishon LeZion to Eilat provide professional services to entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized businesses. Maof's services include business consulting and support, professional courses and training, assistance with financing and management, and the implementation of government support programs - all aimed at ensuring that every business receives the tools it needs to succeed.

Our activity is founded on numerous strategic collaborations with government ministries, local authorities, civil society organizations, and both private and public entities, integrating innovation and advanced technological tools. In this way, we provide each business with a high-quality, personalized service experience, while contributing to the economic development of national priority areas.

 At the end of 2024, we launched a recovery plan for the Gaza Envelope - a national initiative aimed at rehabilitating the business sector in the Gaza border communities.

Thanks to the subsidy provided by the Agency for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses at the Ministry of Economy, these services are provided at especially attractive prices.
This is intended to encourage businesses to utilize these services and to provide access to the business knowledge essential for their success.

Our professional team at Maof supports businesses from the initial professional diagnosis and needs assessment stage through to the development of a comprehensive assistance plan. This plan includes business consulting, financing and credit solutions, professional courses and training, access to grants, and more.
For questions and inquiries, you can contact us by phone at 077-9387474 or by email at  maof@d.maof.co.il
