Maof activity for small and medium businesses in the southern and lowlands regions
The BDO Public Operations Division operates the field centers of the Small and Medium Business (SMB) Agency in the Ministry of Economy and Industry in the southern and lowlands regions in the aim of helping small and medium businesses in Israel. It operates these centers after winning the Maof tender for the second time.
Maof branches, from Rishon LeZion to Eilat, serve entrepreneurs and small and medium businesses in the southern and coastal plain regions by providing consulting and business training services delivered by the best consultants and lecturers in the private market. Assistance areas include financing, grant and benefit programs and a wide ranging and diverse training center.
The cost of the services we provide is especially attractive owing to the funding and assistance granted by the SMB Agency. The aim is to encourage businesses to utilize these services, and of course to make business information accessible to them and enhance their prospects of business success.
The BDO professional team accompanies the businesses throughout their business lifecycle, from professional diagnosis and defining the needs of the initiative or business, through design of a plan with a wide array of assistance tools. These tools include business consulting, obtaining financing and credit, professional courses and training, grants and more.
