Maalot Netanya and the Sharon – Ministry of Aliyah and Integration



The Maalot program, operating under the BDO Public Operations Division, manages a business center for new immigrants and returning residents.
In 2022, BDO won a tender of the Business Entrepreneurship Division in the Ministry of Immigration and Absorption for operating the Maalot program in the Netanya and Sharon region.

Maalot is a national program of business centers for new immigrants and returning residents, established and operated in the aim of helping entrepreneurs and businesses manage their business activity. The center offers its services to clients in the Netanya and Sharon region, including the cities Hod Hasharon, Raanana, Kfar Saba and Herzliya.

The center serves entrepreneurs and small and medium businesses by providing business consulting and training services by the best consultants in the private market, assistance in financing, grant and benefit programs and a range of workshops in diverse business fields.

Owing to the funding and assistance of the Business Entrepreneurship Division in the Ministry of Immigration and Absorption, most of the services we provide as part of this unique program are offered free of charge. The aim is to encourage new immigrants and returning residents to utilize these services which will support them in their business activity and enhance their prospects of business success.

The Maalot 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 that includes an array of assistance tools. These tools include business consulting, obtaining financing and credit, business plans, workshops and more.

BDO is proud to have the privilege of operating this important service for new immigrants and returning residents. For us it is an important mission and we do our utmost to bring to bear our business knowledge and experience in operating this important program.

The Public Operations Division undertakes to bring business professionalism to the civil service, and this important activity is a wonderful opportunity to do so!
