She started her activities with retail trade of manufactured goods, household cleaning products and building materials. The business-woman worked with state educational institutions, participated in public procurements, supplying them with food and leased non-residential premises.

"I recently decided to open in our city a grocery store, where customers will be offered fresh, natural products: meat, fish, vegetables and dairy products, and domestic producers at prices, which are below the market ones. But for the implementation of the idea, it was necessary to make a major renovation of existing buildings, to equip it, to buy all the necessary products. And for this, of course, it requires a lot of money. Knowing about the size of state support of small and medium-sized businesses, government programs, which are successfully implemented in our region (with interest attend all activities related to this subject, which are conducted in the district), that is, I addressed to the District Business Support Center for help", - says Antonina Sevostyanova.

"As a result of the assistance provided to the woman, she received two loans at 14% per annum, of which 10% is repaid by the state for free. One of them, she received for replenishment of fixed assets, the other for increase of the working capital, i.e. for business expansion. Using the money Antonina Sevostyanova made modern reconstruction of the building inside and out, replaced the wiring, heating, bought expensive refrigeration and freezing equipment, showcases and necessary goods", - says the director of the district branch of RCE of NKR Nina Vasilenko.

However, the residents of the district are satisfied not only by a variety of goods, their price and quality, but also by the conditions of storage products that meet all sanitary-epidemiological norms. This is very important, especially when it comes to sour milk and seafood. Especially because those are always present in the range of the store "At Markovna".

"The diary producer from Petropavlovsk LLP "Molservis” supplies the company with various fresh dairy products on regular basis.The fishery products are regularly presented in a wide range: frozen, salted, smoked. For amateurs there are shrimp, squid, trout, salmon ... There is also a large selection of the favorite nuts. And all this at an affordable price", - continues to businesswomen.

They operate only in each district of the region. This topic has interested all the participants of the meeting, so I was invited to a meeting to the Ministry of Education, where I spoke to the heads of departments. There I talked about how I managed to attract patrons to purchase expensive equipment for the future center. I held a personal conversation with the deputy of Mazhilis Zagipa Yakhyanovnoy Balieva, who is actively dealing with children’s issues, who strongly supported my initiative. As a result, the issue of the opening a medico-psycho-pedagogical center for children with disabilities in Petropavlovsk was taken under special control, there was appointed a group of experts to study the possibilities for a positive decision of the topical issue in our regional center, preparation of legal documents has already begun in 2016", - shares his successes Antonina Martsinovna with enthusiasm.
