Business Recovery and Protection (FundingHub Roundup)
⏰ Ongoing
Partial Compensation up to UAH 10 Million for Property and Equipment Restoration
UAH 10,000,000
All business types
ECA (eca.gov.ua)
The state war-risk insurance mechanism provides direct compensation for losses suffered by businesses in frontline regions, as well as partial reimbursement of insurance premiums for companies operating elsewhere in Ukraine. Importantly, the programme now covers not only real estate but also production equipment — machinery, tools, and industrial assets.
Notably, applicants no longer need to submit a property valuation report, which significantly simplifies the process. The Export Credit Agency (ECA) administers the programme.
⏰ February–March 2026
Grant up to UAH 15,000 for Energy Resilience for Sole Traders
UAH 7,500 – 15,000
Sole traders (FOP), Groups 2–3
Diia portal
The “Energy Support for FOPs” programme is a one-time, non-repayable payment for sole traders in Groups 2–3 operating in socially essential sectors — trade, healthcare, transport, and education. The payout scales with the number of officially employed workers: UAH 7,500 for one employee, with an additional UAH 1,500 per additional worker, up to UAH 15,000.
Consequently, eligible businesses can use the funds for generators, batteries, solar panels, inverters, fuel, installation services, or electricity bills during outages.

The bank reimburses between 50% and 85% of the project cost, typically up to €10,000. Additionally, applications are accepted on a rolling basis, which gives businesses flexibility in timing.
