The supervision is personalized to the needs of every individual and designed to help cope with stress, to make the right decision, and to build the self-confidence needed to manage a successful business.

Exercising eligibility to receive the business entrepreneurship service
Starting the service - what happens after approval is received
Once eligibility has been approved, you will be able to choose a provider from the list of providers operating in your area of residence and approved by the Ministry of Health. The referral to the service provider will be made through the rehabilitation coordinator. Once the process begins, the provider will guide you through the initial stages of formulating the business plan and establishing the business.
Once you have been accepted into the service, a contract binding on all parties will be signed that will list your rights and obligations, terms of support and supervision, and the agreements with the business entrepreneurship service provider.
Discontinuation or termination of the service
Any decision to terminate or discontinue the supervision service will be made in accordance with professional criteria and will be coordinated at least two weeks in advance with the treatment coordinator, service providers, and rehabilitation coordinator.
When your business advances and you have the tools and abilities to manage it on your own, you may no longer need the business entrepreneurship service. In this situation, the team supervising the service will ensure an orderly transition to independent management of your business, without additional support.
Opportunity to establish new business ties
You can join a support network of other entrepreneurs who receive the service from the provider that supports you. The goal of the network is to generate networking within which business collaborations can be created between group members.
