Alfa-Bank, together with the business publication RB.RU, announced the launch of a free educational platform “Course” for entrepreneurs. The platform will help Russian entrepreneurs find answers to the main business questions: how to create and develop a business, where to look for new sources of income and financing, how to properly manage accounting and find their first employees.
The Course platform was the result of joint work between Alfa-Bank and the business environment RB.RU.
“We always support entrepreneurs, both with profitable and necessary offers and by creating a favorable environment for business development. Last year we launched the “Important Business Fund”, thanks to which entrepreneurs can make themselves known out loud, and created a new networking format throughout the country: Alpha Confu. The launch of the educational platform is one more step towards entrepreneurs,” said Denis Osin, director of Small and Microenterprises at Alfa-Bank.
“The Course platform will become a new point of attraction for entrepreneurs. The active business community around the RB.RU publication now has the opportunity to gain knowledge in a familiar environment. The experience of Alfa-Bank, which acts as a reliable partner for small and medium-sized businesses, the main audience of our educational platform, will help in the future development of high-quality materials for courses. We have always been more than a media outlet and the partnership with Alfa-Bank was another step towards the development of services for entrepreneurs within the publication,” said RB.RU CEO Elza Egorova.
Currently, there are 7 courses available on the course platform on the most important topics for starting a business: recruiting employees, managing a team, registering a business and the main steps when starting, risks under 115-FZ, entering markets , first sales. Courses on personal branding for businesses, launching a franchise, taxes, obtaining financing, reporting for individual entrepreneurs and LLCs, advertising labeling, and others will be published soon.
When developing the courses we base ourselves on the experience of entrepreneurs and are guided by real needs so that the materials are as practical as possible. Already this year, the Course platform will feature webinars, quizzes and other formats for independent business education, as well as useful sections for small businesses, such as document templates. Users of the platform will also have the opportunity to ask Alfa-Bank experts any questions.
The Course platform will be located on the domain of the RB.RU publication and will become a large and constantly updated special project. In addition to our own courses, the platform plans to host joint programs with partners – companies from different market sectors with extensive experience in a specific topic.
